PCI 5V Card on PCI-X Slot

I've been researching into finding out if a PCI 5Volt card is compatible with a PCI-X Slot.  I found forums and papers saying that PCI-X does not like 5V cards or 5V cards does not work with PCI-X.. Can someone confirm this?

The card specification says PCI 2.2 but on the same line says 5V required.  I am confused..
That does seem odd. Have you checked the specific MFC on the card for any details? I would double-check there, and then just give it a try. :-)
Hi, PCI cards with two cut-out slots on the edge connector rather than just the one, have always worked on my PCI-X. The second slot was introduced to define non 5v card.
