for the quick replies.

The main difference between the KGPSA-BC and DS-KGPSA-CA Fibre HBA is that
the -BC model is 32-bit (based on the Emulex LP7000) and the -CA model is
64-bit (based on the newer Emulex LP8000). It sounds like either will work
fine as long as I don't load up the 32-bit PCI bus with too much other
stuff.
