My understanding is that the 67xx blades will only work on a
fabric-equipped system, and the Sup32 doesn't have one - so you need a
sup720 or rsp720.

(This might be wrong, and it might fall back to the shared bus, as all
67xx cards *do* have a bus connector - it's mainly a question of "how
useful is a 24 gbit card on a 8 gbit bus" and "will the software support
it?").
