Myrinet in PCI 32bit running 33MHz

[morris at sci.hkbu.edu.hk]

To all experience Myrinet user in beowulf cluster,

In Myrinet site, it is recorded that Myrinet adapter plugged in 32-bit
and 64-bit running 33MHz or 66MHz varies in DMA transfer rates, thus
affecting the data-rate performance.

How is the data-rate performance affect the overall performance?  I
just got 32-bit PCI running 33MHz.  Is there any significant performance
difference after I replaced the current motherboard that is equipped with
64-bit, 66MHz PCI bus?

Any opinion is welcome.
