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:=20 * 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.
