*Should* being the operative word. One manufacturer of Post cards was kind enough to answer my questions, and the relevant part of the email exchange went like this: > > Some of our cards do support 3.3V but only in the standard PCI -32 > > slot.

There is not slot key present. And it doesn't work anyway. So, as I asked in the original post, does anybody here have a POST card that is known to work in a PCI-X slot? If not, I guess I'll just get a PCI one and pray that when I hit a machine with its sole PCI slot filled with a cheap video card, that that video card will work in one of the PCI-X slots.
