Um, I'm confused.  you did what?  If I'm reading this right you had a 
clone motherboard, that was a small formfactor (NLX or something?) where 
the PCI slots are on a riser rather than the motherboard.  And you 
replaced the riser with one that had a single 64 bit PCI slot?  Sounds 
like a really odd motherboard.  What is it?
