Looking at buying a particular Network card.
It mentions that it requires the MB to be PCI 2.1 compliant.
The system is running Win95, how and where can i tell which PCI version im using.
I looked in the BIOS but didnt see anything which told me, and i did read that if the computer was built after 1995, then most likely it is compliant with the 2.1 standards.

You can try looking in Device Manager under System Devices>PCI Bus>IRQ Steering. (only Win95b and newer support IRQ steering)

If that doesn't help, SiSoft Sandra (http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,000EX9,.html) benchmarking utility does it in the "PCI and AGP Buses Information section"
