32 bit pci slot on asus p2b motherboard

[steve]

Hello,
I was just wondering I have a old asus p2b motherboard which has been
working great for a long time. I was just wondering does this m/b have a 32
bit pci slot if I wanted to add a network card in it.
thanks

Yes. 32bit, is the 'standard' PCI slot. Latter server boards, have 64bit
(longer) slots, and sometimes 66MHz slots (or 64bit/66MHz ones). Beware
though, that the slot will be relatively 'old', there are a number of
different PCI versions, and some late cards require the latter slot support.
