Hi,
considering I'm using a PCI modern Geforce 210 card on a mini-itx board having a single PCI old type bus that use an Intel PCI bridge on the chipset to connect it to the native PCI-EX1 (no reason why they did that when a better faster native PCI-EX1 bus would have been possible) and the vga itself has a PLX 8112 PCI to PCI-EX bridge so the system is working on who knows which bus speed through two bridges, I found in the bios only two things that can say something, one the 133MB/s value reading I can't modify and the PCI Latency Timer value I can modify. Increasing the last from 32 to 264 (the maximun) it seems the system's running faster and I increased most 3dmark scores, but I don't know exactly if it's right, which is the best value and if I can get someway to know or test the exact bus speed (ICH7/NM10 chipset) that has to work with these bridges. Also there're no drivers for them and GPU-Z application seems not to understand the bus part not even the load bench/readings.
Thanks for any help.
Bye
