About 10 years ago, I had a 486 something or other. It had PCI slots which were identical to the PCI slots in my computer today (32 bits/33MHz). Sure, you can get 64 bit/66MHz slots, but 32b/33MHz slots are still most plentiful, as they have been for years. Really, you can only find the 64bit/66MHz slots on some server-type motherboards, and often they still have some of the old slots as well. Further, I think (but I'm not totally sure) that 32-bit cards work in 64-bit slots.
