Wondering if I have an AGP/PCI lock

I have an Acorp 7Kt600 which allowes me to set the fsb in 1mhz increments, with almost no other overclocking functionality. I am trying to find an app that will tell me my motherboard PCI speed so I can determine if there is a lock. So far, Everest Home, cpu-z, crystalcpuid have not been forthcoming. For some strange reason sandra won't run, and MBM doesn't support the board.

My bios ha a setting "Auto detect PCI clk" which I have enabled. Not sure what this means and the manual is junk. I am currently running a 166 barton at 192 which may be 5mhz over if there is a 5x divider at work. I just can't tell. Any suggestions?

I'm currently using a VIA KT600 (from MSI) for my Barton and I believe it does NOT have AGP/PCI lock. I believe you are running with a 5x divider because if memory serves, the 6x divider does not kick in until it hit 200MHz FSB.

From a quick google search, this is the definition of Auto detect PCI clk:

This is another method that can be used to reduce EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). When enabled, it will automatically turn off the clock cycles on unpopulated AGP, PCI or SDRAM slots. Clock cycles on populated slots will also be turned off when not in use if this option is enabled. Since there is no performance hit associated with this option, you can usually leave it on.
