I recently purchased a P4DC6+ from SuperMicro.
The two PCI slots farthest to the right are 64 bit. I thought that they were backwards compatible with 32 bit pci cards. However, I tried to put one of my 32 bit cards in there and it wouldn't fit. Are the 64 bit slots supposed to be backwards compatible? If they aren't, is there any way I can use a 32 bit card in the 64 bit slot? maybe an adapter of some kind? I really need those two slots. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
