Nope, 64-bit and 66-MHz are independent features. Unless the card lies
(by claiming to do 66MHz when it can't), putting a 33MHz card on a 66MHz
bus will simply cause the entire bus to run at 33MHz.

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
