Hi
First post so be gentle please,,,
I have a P4 DL320 G2 as a server sat in my garage and I am looking to use it as an EMC base.
Problem is... as its a server chassis, it has no Parallel port currently, but does have a 64 bit PCI slot free, which I was going to use. The real problem is getting hold of a card that will fit without spending ££££ as the server really only owes me £30, and I don't want to spend buckets on it to add a card.
The bit I am struggling with is the 64 bit PCI element - I have been given (lots) of conflicting advice as to what to look for, as most PCI board spec aren't exactly forthcoming with the relevant data, and they all seem to differ physically.
So, can anyone tell me if this looks suitable...??

It looks to have the magic '2 slots' but I have no confidence !!
HELP !
Cheers
