It should work fine. The nice thing about the NF4U is that almost everything
is either integrated or hung off the PCIe bus, so the legacy PCI bus is
relatively free. You might check to see if your board's second GbE chip is
on PCIe or PCI. (My MSI K8N Neo4 Plat's secondary GbE is off PCIe, but some
are off PCI). That should leave ~100MB/s of free PCI bandwidth for your RAID
card, unless you're using sound heavily.

Subject: [H] 64bit PCI card in a 32bit slot
I saw somewhere that most 64bit PCI RAID cards will work fine in a
standard 32bit PCI slot. Is anyone actually doing this or was I led
astray and will it not work? The specific card is the LSI MegaRAID
150-6.
I the answer is no, or that the performance is so degraded that it's
not worth doing then I really need some advice. Trying to put
together a SATA RAID solution using a nForce4 Ultra Socket 939 mobo is
the question. I already have the mobo and the 4 drives.
