Mixing 32- and 64-bit cards

As mentioned in another thread, we are building a file server with 3ware
IDE RAID.

At the moment, we plan to get a 6800 (32-bit PCI). If we add 7800's
(64-bit PCI) or some other 3ware card later, will the driver correctly
configure them all? IOW, if I have

32-bit card in 32-bit slot,
32-bit card in 64-bit slot,
64-bit card in 32-bit slot, and
64-bit card in 64-bit slot

all using the same driver, will Linux correctly see 3 32-bit connections
and one 64-bit? If this is a driver-level issue, does at least the 3ware
driver handle this correctly?

Thanks,
