Plus, what about filers with only single 64bit slots?
That would be the F630. On that filer, we only use the 64-bit slots (there is a second, but it must contain the NVRAM) in 32-bit mode because of some chipset problems. Still, that's the only available primary PCI slot, so the second card would have to go in a secondary slot. On the other hand, if you've taken over for a failed partner, you'll have degraded performance anyway.
Err, well in order to have a Cluster, you need to have a Cluster Interconnect card and yes, you guessed it, it has to go into the unbridged slot - so there really aren't any available for high speed NICs.
