5v, but keep in mind, due to a dma bug, most cards don't work in the 64bit
slots. the isp1040 that they came with does (iirc), and my matrox millennium
II. i think linuxalpha.org (is it's up) has a list of compat cards. the
32bit slots are fine, though. linux runs nicely the pws. i've had mine for
almost two years. my floppy likes to eat disks, though.

Thanks, my PWS dual boots FreeBSD as well as Linux. The reason i asked is that I can get a PCI wireless network card pretty cheaply, but it only works in 3.3V PCI slots.

cheers,
Rob
