[OT] 64-bit PCI in 32-bit slots??? crazy??

[Bill Moran]

I'm inheriting some hardware.

These boards have 64-bit PCI SATA cards jammed in 32-bit PCI slots.  Oddly
enough, the boxen boot and start Linux (which will be replaced with FreeBSD
when I'm done)

I guess my question is hardware-related.  I mean, I can't believe this
worked!  Has anyone else seen/done this?  Is this as crazy as it seems to
me?
