How can I check my PCI speed?

I just used SiSoft Sandra... and it told me my maximum FSB was 133 (although I'm running it at 171), and is giving me readings PCI bus:43 and AGP:86! And that can't be right! Of course I have a MSI KT3 Ultra2 which has the KT333 chipset and the 1/5 divider (2/5 for AGP) right (making the PCI:34 and AGP:68 for a 171fsb)? Everything runs fine so far, but I am trying to avoid stressing the other components too much!

So does anyone know another utility that can tell me my true PCI/AGP bus speed?? Thanks!

(my cpu AGOIA was 'stuck' at 1764 for the longest time until i bumped the voltage up to 1.825! of course it bumped me up 3deg under load but every MHz counts! 1800 is a nice round number)

Not exactly...

Sandra does not have support for the higher dividers, so it reports the speeds incorrectly. Your PCI and AGP are only slightly above default...you should be fine..:)
