We run Dell models 2650, 2800, 2850, 6650, and 6850. Never had a problem installing a PCI (or PCI-X) card into the appropriate slot.

A 32 bit PCI slot is a 32 bit PCI slot. No differences any where.
But, apparently what you have is not a 32 bit PCI slot but a PCI-Express slot. Yes, those are different. Same reason why when a client replaced their tape drive, I did not change the controller from a U160 to a U320. Slots in the Dell 1650 are PCI-Express and a U320 card for a PCI-Express slot is like $400 and difference in time (2 hours 45 minutes for 225 GB with the U160 compared to what Quantum figures would be 2 hours 20 minutes with the U320 card) was not worth the price.
ANY WAYS, the 3com 3C996B-T Gigabit card is compatible with both PCI 32 & 64 bit slots as well as PCI-X slots.
For about $130, might be worth the try.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] dell/imail 2006 memoryleak
I'm really not sure if a standard 3Com will go into a Dell 1750. I had to buy a firewire card directly from Dell that would fit as the PCI slots are longer than standard cards. Not the slot but the card itself. I think they're PCI-X if memory serves (no pun).
Anyway, I just have a problem replacing NIC's that are supported and warrantied with 4 hr support by Dell if something goes wrong with any other NIC. I also have a redundant solution here so going to a single NIC is not really a good option.
I know I'm being a PITA here but I and other Dell owners will likely expect Imail to run on Dell servers.

Still no substantive solution to this problem with Imail 2006. Imail's
only answer has been to replace the stock Dell NIC's. That's not an
answer to me since every test shows the NIC's work with 0 errors and
they also connect to a Dell switch. This was also after blaming MxGuard
and anything else they could for the problem. How do you write software
in today's world that doesn't play well with Dell?
Two points...
1) If the memory consumption is the smtpd32 process, the problem cannnot be thrid party utilities like mxGuard.
2) A good server class 3COM NIC is pretty inexpensive. Consider purchasing and installing it a troubleshooting step. If you install it and continue to have problems, that was not it :) If however, it solves your problems, then you will be better off and Ipswitch will have to explain what the problem is and fix it.
Good luck.
