WHOA!  DO NOT DO THIS!  I'm not sure what it hurts, but I'm not going to 
find out first-hand.  You're all very confused. :)

The kernel message says that the IDE bus is 33MHz, which is correct.  Your 
ATA controller is a standard PCI device, and as such, runs at 33MHz.  
Unless your system is overclocked, and your PCI bus runs at 37MHz or so, 
you do not need to change this.

Your *disk* is probably ATA66, which refers to the data throughput of the 
device, not the clock frequency of the controller.  These are very 
different things.
