Thank you very much Darren.
I did look at Dell's website for the info but was not able to find the PCI voltage info. Perhaps I looked at the wrong place or missed it. Googling also did not give me answers.
I called Dell myself and the tech support person was very helpful. He confirmed that Dell PE 2850 indeed has 3.3V for PCI X.
Digium's support also confrimed this. They suggested I exchange my TE205P card with the TE210P card which works with PCI-X 3.3V.
I am a newbie at Asterisk and am learning a lot thanks to the responses of the members of this list.

Useguide has the info and its:
Expansion Bus
Bus type
PCI-X, PCI Express
Expansion slots via riser card cage:
PCI-X
one 3.3-V, 64-bit, 100-MHz or three 3.3-V, 64 bit, 133MHz
PCI Express
one x4 lane width
one x8 lane width
I would have thought the dell website would have been the first place to look.Took less than 2 mins to get the relevant info I cannot believe tech support couldn't give you that information.

Der PE2850 bietet eine Auswahl aus zwei E/A-Riser-Karten:
o E/A-PCI-Riser-Karte (3 PCI-X-Steckplätze: 3 x 64 Bit/133 Mhz) oder
o E/A-PCI-Riser-Karte (2 PCI Express-Steckplätze: 1 x8-Lane und 1
x4-Lane, beide mit x8-Anschlüssen, und 1 PCI-X-Steckplatz: 1x 64 Bit/100
MHz)
Both riser cards only have 64 Bit PCI slots. I think 64 bit is always
3.3 Volt - isn't it?
