Unfortunately all I have are 3 PCI-X slots, so I have to get a new card, but at least I can stop wasting my time.

Its been a year and I’m still running with this exact same configuration, virtually maintenance free. Biggest issue I had was sys admins inadvertently knocking the eSATA cable loose. My OS data is not on these drives so the OS didn’t crash and I just had to plug them back in and remount and we were running again with no reboot. Definitely getting our bang for the buck.

I expect the card will work with your motherboard. The notch location in your motherboard PCI slot indicates it is a 5V slot and this is a 5V card. I tested with server 2003 x32. I don’t know about 64 bit driver support. I would recommend looking into that.
