My mobo says it does ATA100/133 etc.

How do I check/find out what bus speed it is running at?

I just want to know its running at the faster 133 incase its dawdling at 100 and I need to change a setting to get 133. eg if an auto setting has preferred 100.

Also it would help me check any chnages I may make in the future. I have a DVDrom on the same cable as the slave. So wondered if this might down grade the bus speed setting.

HD is set to DMA 6 and DVD to DMA 2 if this is significant

thanks

The figures are theoretical maximums and most drives that use this connector struggle to get anywhere near 100Mb/s in normal circumstances.
The presence of your DVD-ROM on the same cable makes no difference to the speed of the drive.

Also will depend on if your HD is ultra 100 or 133.
The mobo will do either so the HD determines the speed from there.
