* KX133 Chipset: The FSB of current Athlons (K7) should not exceed 100 MHz (x2 or Double Data Rate). The clock rate of 133 MHz for the memory interface is produced by an addition of FSB and PCI clock. ** beyond 'official' specification, AGP divisor is locked at 2/3 of the system bus, i.e. the AGP bus runs at 88.8 MHz when the FSB is 133 MHz, default would be 66.6 MHz Bus System, also referred to as Front Side Bus (FSB)

IDE (ATA) Interface
UDMA66
max. HDD transfer rate of 66.6 MByte/s using bus mastering (minimizes CPU utilisation)
UDMA33
max. HDD transfer rate of 33.3 MByte/s using bus mastering (minimizes CPU utilisation)
PIO4
max. HDD transfer rate of 16.6 MByte/s not using bus mastering (leads to strong CPU utilisation)
