Just seeing if anyone knows whether or not these two card will work with my PM G5 Dual 1.8.

They say 32 bit but my PM manual mentions 64 bit for PCI cards.

Thanks.

Who knows? Adaptec cards work just fine, though.

The adaptecs seem to be like double for the same kind of card.

My manual says PCI - 64 bit, 33MHz

The PCI slot can accommodate mixed voltage (5V, 12V, 3.3V) cards, but only at 3.3V signaling, with 32bit or 64bit data widths and a 33mhz frequency. <<---- straight from the manual.

So does the 32 bit card need to be 3.3v?

Anyone else has installed similiar cards???
