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...
