Look closely at the two edge connectors in these pics:

You'll notice that the T400P has two gaps in the edge connector, whereas 
the TE410P only has one (nearest the ports).

I.e. 3.3V PCI slots have the longer part of them closest to the rear of 
the machine, and 5V slots have the shorter part closest to the rear.

The following motherboard has both types of slots, with the 5V ones to 
the right, and the longer 3.3V 64-bit PCI-X slots to the left.

Note that it seems to be possible to get non-64-bit 3.3V slots, like on 
this board, which looks like it has one:

Annoyingly, no-one seems to make 3.3V PCI motherboards for P4s, it's 
pretty much Xeon-only.

When I spoke to TelAppliant when ordering one of their last E400Ps, they 
seemed to think that Digium has plans to produce a 5V version of the 
TE410P, but that it won't be ready "for a few months". Can anyone 
confirm or deny this?
