I think you must have the following to put the 150-4 card in a 32 bit slot: * The motherboard must support PCI 1.1 (it probably does if it's not to old). * You also have to have a notch at the rear end of the pci slot. If you do not have it you can't put the card in the slot (I think all motherboards not older than a couple of years have this). http://lsionline2.lsil.com/esupport/esupportlsi/consumer/esupport.asp?id=bf88d26d-7205-4bcd-a542-d2a9b4af2b4e&resource=&number=0&isExternal=0&nShowFacts=&nShowCause=&nShowChange=&nShowAddInfo=&activepage=statement.asp&bForceMatch=False&strCurrentSymptom=&searchtype=normal&searchclass=QuickSearch&bnewsession=false&selecttype=match Regards /Per-Olov GPG keyID: 5231C0C4 GPG fingerprint: B232 3E1A F5AB 5E10 7561 6739 766E D29D 5231 C0C4
