Thanks for the tips, and for posting info on those PCI Risers which should work. I want to buy one, but I was unable to find any of those mentioned on that page, in Europe.

Then a quick question: am I correct in thinking, that the riser such as this one:

http://store.orbitmicro.com/commerce/cc ... 111470.htm

Works also as 3.3V "A-Side", because it has no electronic parts, just 1-to-1 pin-to-pin electric connection? So then, if I'd find a riser (flexible or on a card) which is not clearly stated as being 3.3V, but does not have any electronics on it and is connected pin-to-pin - would it work O.K.?

And the reason I'm asking: because looking at some online shops such us this one:

http://linitx.com/index.php?cPath=26_122

there is a lot of interesting stuff there and some seems to be even keyed for 3.3V, but there is no statement about it being compatible with 3.3V. I could belive some of those could be valid to be used, just perhaps 3.3V-only PCI slot is more rare then 5V capable ones and online shops do not care listing information about 3.3V compatibility?

Especialy this one - at least looking at that side of the picture, I wonder what's on the other side of PCB ;-):

looks as being pretty much like the one from orbitmicro that I linked above, and perhaps could also be used as as an A-side for 3.3V slot? On that picture it also seems to be pin-to-pin connected, no electronics on it...

Thanks in advance for info!
