IIRC, the PCI bus is supposed to run at 33MHz. You'll have to make a difference between * Front side bus (CPU, Northbridge, RAM), that's what marketing says * PCI bus, runs mostly at 33MHz, can be pushed to 66MHz if _all_ cards support it. Not recommended. * IDE bus. There you have DMA33, UDMA66/100/133 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
