The 'U' does not mean 64bit but rather it refers to the 'universal' 
version of PCI - this is one that supports both 3.3 Volt and 5 Volt 
'signalling'.  You really should only consider buying a universal board 
these days and they are readily availible in 32bit versions.

The primary issue with this type of architecture is the make/model of 
external modems that you use.  However, that said, multiport serial 
boards do bring interrupt and reliability issues that may be important 
to you.
