I;d say it's both the pc100 ram and the pci bus running at 33MHz. Just can't get around it. Getting 133MHz ram might help but the bottleneck at the PCI bus is still there. This is way so many of the guys I know in schools studying comp engineering/sci are swithcing to the AMD/Athlon/Duron based mobos. They have a faster bus system (though I do believe the PCI is still a bottleneck at 33MHz).
I'm looking at the mobo specs for anything I can find that would be related to the PCI bus speed. The only thing I see is that the board has the VIA KT-133 chipset. The mobo is designed for Athlons or Durons, however. Is the 33MHz limitation a property of most PC mobos? Paul
