One should be cautious of anything on the web. In this instance I 
googled PCI, of the results found Wikipedia had a good succinct 
description.

My Googling of the FX5500 card did not show it to be a 5V card. It is 
where the web falls down, there are plenty of Google entries for 
sellers but precious little in the way of facts. NVidia's site was not 
much help either.

The information required is to be found at 
http://www.iyonix.com/32bit/PCI_slots.shtml

I do not see much point in upgrading the card. The extra memory would 
have been useful to Geminus but that seems defunct now. DVI and double 
heading would be useful if it happens. WindowsXP has an excellent 
implementation of a two display arrangement.
