You can get AOC-SAT2-MV8 from about $50 + shipping from ebay, which isn't bad. It's a PCI-X card, 64bit, but PCI-X is backwards compatible with PCI (if you have room for the extra lenth of non-connected PCI-X. That works very well with OI - I have a few boxes that have been running with that for some 20 months without a hichup.

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards
