How high the PCI bus will go depends on the devices plugged into it.

why not bump up your PCI divider?

from 1/2 to 1/3 if you run 66mhz fsb
or 1/3 - 1/4 if you run 100

if you are trying to overclock 133, you are sol

the bad thing about high pci bus is hard drive life expectancy is reduced by a high margin as the bus increases.

< Dark4ng3l > - How does the higher bus freq. wear out hard drives? Is it because the hard drive is forced to read and write data faster or what?

Just curious. Thanks

Quite frankly i dont know. Hard drives run on high pci buses tend to crap out realy fast(89MHz bus is murder for hdd's)
