Okay there are IDE PCI cards. But if youve got a HD running through a 100 wire normally, then put it on a PCI card-wont that slow it down? PCiI=33!

First off, there are no hundred-wire cables. 80 is the max.
The PCI bus is cable of transferring at 133MB/s. There's plenty of room for a PCI IDE card. Such cards are rated up to UDMA6 and are capable of 45MB/s.

BPB I think he's almost confusing mhz for mb/sec.;)
Like already said pci bus is 133mb/sec. The pci IDE card only isnt the prob since its at max 45mb/sec and most drives never hit top speed /transfer rate anyhow. The REAL problem is that leaves you 88mb left now. Now lots of things run off that same pci bus. ergo 80mb/sec wont go too far. Ya got yer modem and winmodems are very cpu dependant-meaning lots of pci data transfer Id suspect(?) then things like IDE, other add in cards ethernet maybe usb 2.0 card etc. WoW where'd all my bandwidth go???:t
