66 MHz Gig cards 1

[themut]

Hello Folks,

Has anybody come accross any issues installing and configuring a 66 MHz Gigabit card on a PIX 535 33 MHz PCI slot? I will be doing it next week and I just want to make sure upfront. Thanks for your help!

You just have to put them in slot 0-3 counting from the PSU side of the chassis , thats all. The last ones are only 32bit/33Mhz bus'es

Oh and also, minimum PIX 5.1.1, but you hopefully already run that or higher
