The origianl Blue and White G3 came with 3 64bit, 33mhz pci slots and one 64bit 66mhz pci slot. The 66mhz slot was used for an ati video card, but if you put the card in a 33mhz slot, suddenly you've got a 64bit 66mhz slot that you could install a Adaptec 3210S Ultra 160 RAID PCI Controller Card (or the like) and get full throughput. Sound like a good idea?

The 66MHz PCI slot in a Blue and White is not 64 bit.

A BWG3 has 3 64-bit 33MHz slots and one 66MHz 32-bit slot.
