Yes the controller works in a normal 32but slot but I have never tested the performance loss or anything.
If you get one plan ona 32bit slot but start looking for a used dualie board.
And for those inclined I have a pair of modded 1600 XP's I was running in one of my duallys for sale as we speak. They are unlocked and have the L5's fixed to work as a dual MP MB cpu.
The battery backed ram holds what was written to the cache but not written to the disk in case you crash or lose power etc.... When it comes up it finishs the IO held in the cache. Its not important for desktop machines as much as servers that may be holding 100 database transactions or something.
It doesnt have the daughter card. I dont even have a clue if it works without the daughter card. I dont really care if it works or not, that why Shortys getting it
Used? On eBay a used one runs about 125 to 135. I paid 115 for mine. Depends on how patient you are.

I got my "new" *cough*bullsh!t*cough* MSI K7D-L on ebay for $160 (w/shipping)
The guy claimed it was new, never powered up, blah blah blah... So then, I wonder how the heatsink on the 760MPX got full of dust? What about the various capacitors on the board that had dust on one side but not the other? And the non-factory default BIOS settings? New my @ss. It was still a good deal though, and it works fine, so whatever... It's missing the MSI D-Bracket, but I'm not sure the -L comes with that in the first place, and it's not that big of a deal.
Anyhow, new, the K7D-Ls go for ~$200
Used, $100-$200
There are also a bunch of 760MP boards on ebay for $100 or less (or there was a month ago anyhow)...
i was keeping track of it, last time i checked it it was up to $380, this was last night some time, Tex had not bid on it yet. I'm guessing he had some proxy service to put in a bid with 3 seconds left. I guess we'll have to wait.

Thats seven unless we think it could go above 350 and then we could take one more.

Unfortunately, it doesn't say whether or not it does...
//Edit
However, if it DOESN'T, then you have one more reason to buy a dually system

It is a little more thorough and current, I think.
