My Dell Poweredge 1600SC has three kinds of PCI slots..

2*32bit standard pci slots (take all pci cards)

two white pci slots & two green pci slots.. they look like they are 64bit (alot longer).. and have a notch near the beginning of the card. I have put a promise ultra100tx2 in the green and white 64bit slots and it works just fine.

What are these slots, and whats the difference between the white and the green?

Have you looked in the manual? Dell has the manuals online with diagrams. They are probably PCI-X slots (not PCI express). It may be 3.3v and 5v.

Slots
6 expansion slots
2 x 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X (Supports 3.3v or Universal cards)
2 x 64-bit/66MHz PCI (Supports 3.3v or Universal cards)
2 x 32-bit/33MHz PCI (Supports legacy 5v or Universal cards)
