Hi

all pci on iyo mobo is 32bit.

mobo chip is on primary pci bus, as are the 2 long sockets. the short sockets are on the secondary bus.

if the id of the chip on your card is recognised, it should work. if not, then it'll need a rewrite/rebuild of the driver module.

What would be the effect of a 64bit MT/1000 1G network card

No improvement in performance even if 64bit was used because
of speed limitations of RISC OS?
Support by the GT/1000 card driver in 32bit mode?
No support in Iyonix at all?
    
I'm not sure what mode the PCI card is used in but I would expect it to be
the same as the mode that motherboard interface is connected in.

The motherboard interface connects to the PCI bus and I would expect it to
be connected electronicaly in exactly (or close) the same way as if on a PCI
card.

n.b. Many PCI devices are on the motherboard see *PCIDevices
sound, 1/O etc
