Might want to get on the same page with the FC version of dmidecode:

[root at tabb1 ~]# dmidecode | grep PCI
                        PCI is supported
                Designation: PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Designation: PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Designation: PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Designation: PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Designation: PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Designation: PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
[root at tabb1 ~]# dmidecode | grep PCI | grep Type
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
                Type: 32-bit PCI
[root at tabb1 ~]# rpm -qf `which dmidecode`
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.39

As far as sizes of cards, etc., need a lot more smarts than dmidecode
and grep.
