this is not really a gentoo related question, but could someone please
help me anyway? I have an HP tc2120 server, with 64 bit pci slots,

i need to know, if i can stick a 32 bit pci adaptec disk controller
(SATA or IDE) into it. I am searching google just now, but i would
still like to hear the answer from a real person, who knows for sure.
So, if anyone out there can help me with this, i'd greatly appreciate
it. thanks in advance
It will.
32bit, 64bit, 33MHz, 66MHz, 100MHz, 133MHz, PCI, PCI-X are all
electrically,
and from a software point, the same. (PCI-e is something entirely
different,
BTW)
The only exclusion is 3.3V and 5V, but a 3.3V only card won't fit into
a 5V
only slot, as 5V slots have a second key in the slot.
The bus will automatically clock itself down to the lowest common
denominator,
so you'll get a performance hit on other cards on the same bus.
