Hello Aragorn,

I contacted Adaptec's support and the e-mailed me the following info:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, the controller supports 100Mhz clock rates. No you do not need
to have the controller replaced, the slot negotiates the transfer
rate. If both 64bit PCI slots are populated, it's highly likely only
one will support the 100Mhz transfer rate. If not, try the other slot
or check for a BIOS update from Dell.

Thank you for using Adaptec's ASK US Support Service.

So, I moved this card to another slot and the system still shows 66Mhz
using "lspci -v". Does the lspci comman accurately display bus
speeds? Is there any other tool I can use to see what speed this card
is running at?

Possibly /lshw/ can show you more or other details, but I've never used that
myself. You could even get more output from /lspci,/ if you want. See
the /man/ page. ;-)

For instance,...

lspci -vvv

.... gives you a whole lot more of verbosity. ;-)

If you really want to make this card run at 100 MHz, then check with Dell
for a BIOS upgrade, as the Adaptec guys have told you. ;-)
