Need computer help/info

Hello,

I'm trying to find some information on the PCI characteristics of my motherboard's chipsets. To be more specific, about the board's PCI slots. My motherboard has a VIA KT600 north bridge chipset, and VIA VT8237R chipset for the south bridge. I want to know

Do the chipsets support bus-mastering PCI 2.1 cards @ 5V?

I want to know in case I get a PCI card and it needs the 5V, instead of 3.3V. I was thinking that if the chipsets support the 5V,
the motherboard will work with a PCI card of that spec. The motherboard itself is a GigaByte GA-7VT600 1394.

I can't contact the mobo manufacturer because they're observing Chinese New Year  '> .
