I'm inheriting some hardware.

These boards have 64-bit PCI SATA cards jammed in 32-bit PCI slots.  Oddly
enough, the boxen boot and start Linux (which will be replaced with FreeBSD
when I'm done)

I guess my question is hardware-related. I mean, I can't believe this
worked! Has anyone else seen/done this? Is this as crazy as it seems to
me?


Please check out this site:

As you will see, PCI-X is up to 533MHz bus speeds now and the standard is still backwards compatible with PCI.
