Which is 66MHz. Used to be 33MHz, ISA was 8MHz to 16MHz, EISA was 16MHz. PCI 3.0 should be around 100-133MHz. This is not to be confused with ATA-133/166/200 which is in Megabits/second (Mbps) FW (IEEE 1394) is rated to go 2000Mbps (250MB) but Apple's is capped at 400Mbps (50MB). -- Ryan Coleman Coleman Web / Internet Services http://cwis.biz/ http://lemlists.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (612) 378-7901 -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
