I *think* you still can use a 64bit card in a 32bit slot (do not take my word for it) so if you plan to get a duallie mobo (on which you'll find 1 or 2 64bit slots) you can buy the 64bit version. But before i'd check thoroughly if it's possible...
(nuclear): i was joking dude. But jokes aside, it's a geek site with ppl who watercool (or worse..) their PC. That is an expensive hobby, to say the least. Ah and i did put the disclaimer: "IF money doesnt count"

I checked, and the 29160 is backwards compatible to PCI 32 bit. The price would be the deciding factor, since the only extra with the 29160 is a 68 pin connector for ultra SCSI.
