Todd,

Then how I can tell the bus clock rate from "lspci -v"?
Say the print out from my current machine is like:

chen,

i think that if you look at the speed of the bridge, that is the speed the
bridge wants to run the bus at. as another poster noted, this doesn't
really tell you the speed the bus is actually clocked at.
