Main Question:
Will a card with "Connector Type(s) 1 - PCI / PCI-X (Universal 3.3 & 5V; 32-bit)," be compatible in a PCI-X 64/100 3.3v slot or PCI-64/66 3.3v slot on my motherboard? This card has both 3.3v and 5v tab on the connector.
Since the PCI-X and PCI-66 slots are only 3.3v will the card be underpowered?
*This card: http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/USB-3.0/Cards/4-Port-PCI-SuperSpeed-USB-3-Adapter-Card-with-SATA-SP4-Power~PCIUSB3S4

---Expansion Slots Page 68
**Yes I have already used all the Conventional PCI 32/33 slots
Additional Questions: (I need a better understanding)
I have read I can use Conventional PCI cards on the PCI-X slot is this also true for the PCI-66 slot?
If Conventional PCI cards are backwards compatible on my other PCI-X and PCI-66 slots will I have a voltage issue using a 5v card in a 3.3v PCI slot?
Thanks a bunch,
