There is one case in which a 64bit PCI card should _not_ work in a 
32bit slot: when the card is 3.3v PCI or PCI-X.  The Symbios 20320 and 
21320 are such cards, while the 22320 is a universal card.

The only 2 tools you will ever need are WD-40 and duct tape. If it 
moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it 
should, use WD-40.
