It's only mean that you PCI bus runs at 33 Mhz and this not depend to IDE controller speed.

Does this mean it's assuming a PCI bus speed of 33MHz? Does that mean the system motherboard speed. i.e. some p.c's may advertise a bus speed of 100MHz or more these days, I think.? Can you change this to speed things up? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
