I beleive that the K2-333 is built to run at 66X5. This is the reason that
there is very little difference in performance between the K6-2 300Mhz and
the K6-2 333. The 300 runs at a bus speed of 100 Mhz and the 333 at 66 Mhz.
With this said, even though you have may have PC 100 memory, it is only
going to function at the 66 Mhz bus speed.

As for your other problems with the IDE controller, what OS are you using?
Win 95 / 98 and if it is Win 95, what version? If it is an older version of
Win 95, you may need a patch or a MS driver.
