Explanation:
The data transfer rate of a PCI bus can be calculated by multiplying the PCI bus width by the PCI bus speed and dividing the result by eight to convert it from Megabits per second (Mbps) to Mega bytes per second (Mbps). Thus PCI 32/33 has a maximum data transfer rate of approximately 132 Mbps as 32 33 / 8 = 132.
