As you can see the card has two keys for both 3.3 and 5 Volt, but how can you be sure it isn't a 5 Volt only card? That would mean that it can kill a Sam4x0 machine.

If its combo card it means that you plug it in to a 3.3 or 5 PCI slot.

You can check Wikipedia abut PCI cards.

Thank you. That's correct, but what if the contact on the card is of the wrong type? That is, if the card is a 5 volt only card but the contact has the two keys indicating both 3.3 and 5 V.

Dear Duga (Rainbow?)

There is no way to know except to either picture the physical connector,
or by asking the seller directly since voltage is not the standard specification part or rarely is.

In my experience it is almost impossible to find 9250 with 256mb that works on SAM 440 and that quirky PCI voltage needs to be dropped in future SAM designs as it kills joy of using many cards.

As explained, there are cards that can do both but are always more expensive.
