This should help. It should be complete but their are like 50 PCI
standards so not sure, if it looks weird use a fixed width font:

PCI:

32-bit / 33Mhz / 132MB / 5Volt (Standard PCI Slot):
######################################
#----------------------------#-------#
######################################

32-bit / 33Mhz / 132MB / 3.3V and
32-bit / 66Mhz / 264MB / 3.3V:
######################################
#------#-----------------------------#
######################################

PCI-X:

64-bit / 33Mhz / 264MB / 5V:
##########################################################
#----------------------------#-------#-------------------#
##########################################################

64-bit / 66Mhz / 528MB / 3.3V and
64-bit / 100Mhz / 800MB / 3.3V and
64-bit / 133Mhz / 1064MB / 3.3V and
64-bit / 266Mhz / 2128MB / 3.3V and
64-bit / 533Mhz / 4264MB / 3.3V:
##########################################################
#------#-----------------------------#-------------------#
##########################################################

Summary: 
* Key is on the right side for 5V slots.
* Key is on the left side for 3.3V slots, 66Mhz or higher PCI slots
are always 3.3V.
* A PCI card that's double notched on both sides is compatible with 5V
and 3.3V slots.
* Look for double notched PCI cards for maximum compatibility.
