Are the Bus Speeds for IDE cables always 133 mhz??

I have an Asus P4S533 motherboard with a 533mhz Front Side Bus. I use 1 GB of 333mhz Ram. I installed this program by Asus. This program tells info about your computer, like Processor Speed, Amount of memory, BIOS info, etc. etc. etc. Theirs this one section and all it says is "Bus Speed 133mhz" Anyone know what this means. Cuz if my memory is only clocking at 133mhz or my FSB is not configured right I need to fix it. I think this might be the speed of the IDE cables, for data to and from my HardDrives. But I don't know for sure. Any info would help.

It's kinda confusing and I don't know it that well myself but i believe you have a dual pipe frontside bus so in theory if you would be running at 266mhz on the frontside bus. If you increased your bus to 200 you would be running on a 400 mhz frontside bus. Chances are your mb supports up to 266 mhz (double and you have 533). The ram works the same way. So increase your frontside bus which could overclock your system. You don't say which processor you have. The higher you increase your bus, the faster your processor will go the hotter it will get. I run my xp2500 on the asus a7n8x and it runs comfortablt at 166 bus. When I go to 200 it thinks my system is a xp3200. Does it make sense?

"133" is refering to the ata specification of your ide channels on the mobo. there are different ata standards for ide such as 66/100/and yep 133 which is apparantly what you have. your memory and fsb have nothing to do with your ata specification. you should be good as far as your fsb speed (533Mhz) and memory speed (333Mhz) on the P4S533. Side Note: Digidesign recomends NOT using SiS chipset based motherboards wich is what is on your Asus P4S533. good luck.

Thanks Rage_ele I think you answered my question. Now my new question, is their a faster ATA Standards speed than 133mhz for the IDE channels. If so is it motherboard limited or can you change settings in the BIOS or in XP to speed it up. As for the SIS chipset, I havent had any problems with that. I do have to disable my motherboard built in sound, to get ProTools to run. But besides that my PC runs superfast. Does anyone know what the big deal is with the SIS chipsets. I didnt do enough research when I bought it and found out later that the SIS was unsupported, but no complaints so far.
