The BW G3 doesn't support drives over 128 GB on its main drive bus, but
the UltraATA 66 bus used by the optical drives supports so-called Big
Drives - and it's twice as fast.
The HD bus is Ultra/33 (33 MB/s).
The Optical bus is DMA (16.67 MB/s).
Both buses can support large drives using the

Hi All
I have a G4 MDD Dual 1.25 the Bus speeds are 100, 66 and 33 if iI put a 133
card in it will the machine run any faster or is it not worth it?

http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63 says that you have a bus speed of 167MHz

PATA drives are getting rare and ATA133 even rarer. The speed improvement
would be very marginal, and I would recommend looking for a 64-bit wide SATA
interface instead, which would mean you can use a modern SATA drive with a
big cache and a fast rotational speed.
