PCI-E Lock
If a motherboard has a PCI-E lock (for overclocking), if I use the PCI-E lock, will that also lock the speed of the regular PCI bus too?

I believe so, my board(A8N32-SLI Deluxe) works like this.

They both operate at different frequencies and need to be locked to the following when overclocking.
PCI-E 100Mhz PCI 33.33Mhz |

Ok, I know that they need to be locked at 100 and 33.33 but what I was wondering is if the PCI-E lock also locks the regular PCI.

My board (confirmed by many OC'ers) locks the regular PCI frequency when the PCI-E is locked at 100. And it's also an ASUS board, so yours probably does as well MetalX, but don't quote me on this lol. |

Ok, thanks, well I'm still not SURE that it has a lock but overclocking from 1.86GHz to 2.4GHz using the system bus pretty much rules out anything else.
