I posted this about six months ago, and I think it sank to the
bottom without a single responce. So I'll try again.

I'm looking for a software that will tell me what my PCI and
AGP buss are actually running at.

I'm testing some Canterwood and Springdale motherboards
that have the Fixed 33/66/100 settings as well as the /3 /4 /5 /6
dividers, and I'd like to prove if they are working or not.
So I'm looking for a software utility, something like CPU-Z and
CPU ID that will tell me the MHZ of the actual buss, not just
the processor and memory FSB.

Any and all help is greatly apprecaited.

I'm sure you were told six months ago, but there is no software that will do this. The few apps that attempt it are actually guessing, apparently based on your FSB + MoBo combo.

The only way to do this reliably is with hardware, either an ocillscope or a PC Geiger.
 
No, as I said, the thread sank to the bottom without even a
whisper of an answer.

That PC Geiger looks like a good lead though.

I seem to remember something on overclockers.com front page
that was a PCI card that testest stuff similarly. It was $100
though. I'd would be worth it considering I'm getting all these
motherboards to test.
 
I've dug up an engineering leaflet that I picked up on a trip to Bristol Uni. It has an article on PCI busses and dodgy clock signals. They use a Digital Storage Oscilloscope.
