My mistake -- my only experience with 64-bit slot incompatabilities is
with 32-bit pci video cards, where using the 64-bit slots definitely
affect performance (ie occasional machine checks) - at least with 3
different maxtrox cards I tried (Millenium, M-II, and Mystique)


That was the evidence I based my statement on, and I realize that it could
indeed be 20 other things that cause those cards to fail in the 64-bit
slots...
