RE: disk problems or false alarm??

Hi, William,

 Thanks.

 Then how to increase PCI IDE disk speed through adjusting PCI bus
speed? What I've said is: even I tried to improve PCI bus speed by
specifying "idebus=66", the sustainable PCI IDE disk data transfer speed
is still about 33MB/s, while the hard disks themselves may be capable of
providing higher speed. Thanks.

I definitely know apple and orange, both fruits are my favorite. :)

You are comparing apples to oranges.  idebus is the PCI speed in Mhz. 
33MB/s is the bandwidth of the PCI bus.
