I'm trying to determine what compliant version the PCI slots are for the
P5A motherboard.

Thanks in advance.

The downloadable manual should tell; I'd guess PCI 2.1.

unfortunately manuals (even my new p4c800-e) dont always specify the PCI
version, your best bet is to find out what chipset your board uses and
go to intel's chipset reference, they will tell you what standard was
implemented in which version of chipset.

Well, the one for the P4C800-E Deluxe I got from an Asus FTP a while
back says "PCI 2.2, PCI 2.3".

http://users.erols.com/chare/chipsets.htm would also do. No note on the
PCI version means PCI 2.1. (BTW, there were a number of boards using the
nominal "PCI 2.1" i440BX with PCI 2.2 support - the P3B-F, for example.
So the chipset is a big, but not the only part of the equation.)
