Is there software out there that can check what my current PCI speed is?
Here's my situation. I'm currently running A8n-SLI Deluxe with bios 1002(original bios). It has an option to lock the PCI-Express bus but not the PCI bus. And when this system is overclocked, my system feels very snappy. After installing the beta bios from the asus site. There is now an option to lock the PCI bus at 33.3, so I did just that. Even though my overclock settings are the same as the previous bios, my system just doesn't seem as snappy as before with the old bios. I'm guessing my old bios didn't have a lock on it and I'm just wondering if there is a software out there to check to see if it was locked because I switched back to the old bios.
