yes, may 64bit PCI cards (from 64/33 to PCI-X 133) wor just fine in plain old boring slow pci 32/33 slots. it's a feature. if the cards shows up it'll work. -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
