I hope I didn't mess up here. I have a machine with a G41T-M5 MoBo a Cleleron 2Core running 2.5Ghz. Just upgraded to4Gb RAM without a hitch. I just bought a Galaxy 2GB PCI Express Video x16 card for it, but just noticed it has 64 bit memory bandwidth. The G41T manual states, as I now see, the PCI interface does not support 64 bit SCSI cards. Did I just goof?

Some SCSI or RAID cards use a 64-bit form of vanilla PCI (different from PCI Express, which your video card uses) for increased bandwidth. The memory bandwidth on the video card has no effect on the rest of the system, otherwise those of us with 128-bit or higher memory bandwidth on our video cards would be in big trouble!

You should be fine.

It's an Intel Celeron E3300 CPU 2.50 Ghz. The box doesn't say whether it's 64-bit. Any idea about this one?
