Dell support no help- which systems have 64-bit PCI slots?

I'll bet the manufacturer of the card knows some computers that will accept
the card.

I believe the answer to each of those questions is false. Have a
look at the PowerEdge servers via the Dell Small Business site.
For example, it appears that the PowerEdge 1600SC has:

2 x 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X (Supports 3.3v or Universal cards)
2 x 64-bit/66MHz PCI (Supports 3.3v or Universal cards)
2 x 32-bit/33MHz PCI (Supports legacy 5v or Universal cards)
