yes, the 3ware cards work in 32bit pci slots. something like a 8506 with
some reasonably fast disk will get into the range of perhaps 70MB/s
writeing on a big raid-5 stripe so you can get most of the performance
you'd expect out of a 32bit pci card, it's just that when you add a second
one and a couple of gigabit ethernets it's not going to continue to scale
very well.
