This may seem quite silly, but I am wondering if it is possible to instll a
PCI64 card into a standard 32 bit PCI slot and have it work.

They have to be designed that way, but some work...

Just built a PC that uses a Highpoint 1820A PCI-X card... I had it working
fine in a normal PCI slot on my P4C800E-Dlx before building the machine it
was intended for.
 
Some 64-bit PCI cards are backward compatible with 32-bit PCI slot. The
cards such as Adaptec 29160 or 29320 (64-bit PCI card) will work with
existing 32-bit PCI slot.
