Ahh, your real issue is voltage then, not the PCI specification that the 
card is compliant with. Cards can be compliant with any of the PCI 
versions you mentioned and still be 5V only, 3.3V only, or 5V/3.3V 
compatible.

All modern ISDN BRI cards usable with Asterisk are both 5V and 3.3V 
compatible, but as you say, they aren't available in your price range.
