I know there are 3.3v- and 5v-only PCI slots. Plus, 64-bit and 32-bit slots. And I think there are 66 MHz and 33 MHz slots.

I've got an older system, and would like to see if I can use it. I'll have to shop for a PCI video card, and a PCI SATA RAID controller. How can I identify the slots on the motherboard, as well as the keys on the card edge, to know what cards will work, or what type of cards I need?

I guess I'm looking for a chart that shows all the different keyings. Does anybody know of one?

Trust me, it's not like I didn't try searching for it myself.

Afraid not. This is one of the sites I came across when I was trying to cover it myself. On a couple of the pictures, I think they've confused 5v-only and 3.3v-only 32-bit slots.

I also found the PCI Sig, which I'm sure would answer my questions. But they require membership ($3000/year) or purchase ($100/set) for the documents, and I can't quite justify that.

I found this site, though, which has a clear and concise illustration that correctly shows the different keyings.
