Thest scsi cards are 64 bit but its says on their website that its 32bit compatiable. Does anyone able to confirm this. Basically, its saying to me tha tyou can use it on a 32bit pci slot on a simple atx motherboard with either intel or amd cpu.

Also, can i plug in a cdrom drive, dvd drive, or burner that is scsi. I assume those drives are ultra scsi or scsi 2 so youc an plug it into that card as well as your hard drive.

I want to make sure
-thanks

They are u160 cards, but they should have a connector for older scsi drives (my 29160 does). And they should work in a 32bit pci slot.

Yes, those models are 64/33, but will also work in 32/33.

Though... just a little overkill for a couple optical drives :D You're also planning on some U160 HD's I hope?
