Will a PCI 64-bit Vidcard (not PCI-X) will work on a PCI 32-bit slot?

Hi everyone,

This is my very first post here, and this is a great website. Anyway, I am planning to upgrade my old computer, but I am only having one problem about graphic cards. I have a motherboard that has PCI 32 bit slot, and the older PCI based graphics cards that I was able to find were between 64 bit to 128 bit Memory interface.

Will a PCI 64-bit card (not PCI-X) will work on a PCI 32-bit slot? Thank you!

The MoBo that I am talking about is Intel D845GVSR, and the video cards(has 64-128 bit memory interface) are:

1.GeForece 6200 PCI DDR ( Video-338PCI-LX ),
2.GeForce 6200 PCI DDR (Video-338PCI-TV)
3. PNY 5200 PCI DDR (VCGFX522PEB)

Some of the are here:

It's memory interfaces : width between the GPU and the VRAM on the card itself, they'll all work in your PCI slot.
