FWIW, I've heard it said (at least for my board), that only 64-bit cards are supported, but that doesn't mean 32-bit cards won't work. My experience has been that very few 32-bit cards work, and it's probably from the 33/66MHz issue, not the 32/64 bit. There's even a jumper on my board to force 33MHz on the 64-bit slot, but IIRC even that didn't help on some cards.Hi Joe,
When I first got my dual Xeon board, I considered putting the PVR-500 in one of the 64-bit slots. I asked round a little and I remember hearing that there's some sort of timing issue that allows it to not be put into the 64-bit slots. It has to be a special card, like the 3Ware Escalade, that's made to use either timing.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I came up with.
Anyway, most likely the PVR-500 is simply a 3.3v/33MHz card. If it works in a 66MHz slot, great. Even that isn't PCI-X AIUI.
