Yes, that makes sense. I've used 64bit network cards in 32bit slots
before, but never a heavy I/O device like a drive controller.

Another stupid SATA question, its been years since I've dealt with
SATA drives, will 3G/s and 1.5G/s rated drives work with a SATA150
controller? I've guessing its the same drive connector just a
different rating, sort of like IDE33/66/100, but they all work on the
same controller.
