This is about the best I can find on that system:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12990_div/12990_div.html

But back to the questios:

-- PCI 2.3 is a 3.3volt only slot. Whether it runs at 33 or 66MHz depends on the card installed.
Most 3.3v only cards ran 66MHz.
Universal 3.3/5.0v cards ran at 33MHz (the best I remember)

As for the PCI-E slots, the Rule Of Thumb is --- if it doesn't have a version number after it, it is Version 1

I find the answer is
Revision:      PCI 2.3
Release Date:      2002
Frequency:      33 MHz
Voltage:      3.3V / 5V
Width:      32 bits
Rate (byte/s):      132 Mb/s

because there is only 4 types of PCI 2.3:
Revision:      PCI 2.3      PCI 2.3      PCI 2.3      PCI 2.3
Release Date:      2002      2002      2002      2002
Frequency:      33 MHz      33 MHz      66 MHz      66 MHz
Voltage:      3.3V / 5V      3.3V / 5V      3.3V      3.3V
Width:      32 bits      64 bits      32 bits      64 bits
Rate (byte/s):      132 Mb/s      264 Mb/s      264 Mb/s      528 Mb/s
it's 32 bit on motherboard when i see it then it's will be 2 types:
Revision:      PCI 2.3      PCI 2.3
Release Date:      2002      2002
Frequency:      33 MHz      66 MHz
Voltage:      3.3V / 5V      3.3V
Width:      32 bits      32 bits
Rate (byte/s):      132 Mb/s      264 Mb/s
and when i see the slot port the it's like like the picture http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6f/PCI_Keying.png
5v 32-bit PCI Slot
so this mean it's
Revision:      PCI 2.3
Release Date:      2002
Frequency:      33 MHz
Voltage:      3.3V / 5V
Width:      32 bits
Rate (byte/s):      132 Mb/s
which is PCI 2.3 2002, 33 MHz, 3.3V / 5V, 32 bits, 132 Mb/s on the link above i provide it.

I won't debate the issue with you, Compaq did some strange things. And you can see the actual slot, we can't.

But by definition, a PCI 2.3 slot is usually 3.3v, with the notch on the left side (close to the edge of the motherboard).
A slot with the notch on the right (toward the center of the motherboard) is an early version and is 5v.
