64 bit PCI card on 32 bit PCI Slot

Comment:

Hello guys Does anyone here tried installing a 64 bit PCI card (eg. IEEE 1394)on a 32 bit PCI slot. I know that the 64 bit card is longer than the 32 bit slot. Will it work? Thanks

It should not fit. They are supposed to be keyed so that you can't force it in. The basic rule is if it fits it will work. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
