a 32-bit lancard in a 64bit pci slot

[Ultima]

Hey guys,

at work we have a somewhat older server, which works fine except for the
onboard nic's, those have been wrongly flashed and no longer work, not even after reflashing and all that can be tried.

It has 2 64bit expansion slots, and I seem to recall that a 32bit pci card will work just fine on a 64bit slot, it should just downgrade it's speed and make it work, shouldn't it??

It's an HP Compaq Proliant DL360 G2, dual P3 1.4Ghz, 4Gb ram and 2 x 36.4Gb scsi3 15k rpm.

thanks for any info.
