I have a problem with this damn Netvista from IBM, my PCI cards won't even fit on that thing? How is that? I did a search and I looked up the spec it says 32-bit PCI expansion slots, but it won't fit? why is that?

If you actually mean they are too tall then you need low profile PCI Cards.......

Voltage issue. PCI spec has a few choices. If the card doesn't fit it can't be used. Don't force it. Get the correct voltage pci card or a universal card.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

Or modify the bracket, if the card itself is small enough.

I think most of those netvista's use low profile cards.

Yes they do, and I hate that because low profile cards aren't common...
