This took me a while to get... it would have been better if
you'd said "this is not always the case."

If I understand properly, you are saying that, for instance,
you can plug a fast/wide disk into an ultra bus, and the bus
(of course), wouldn't run the fast/wide disk at its highest
potential bandwidth. Conversely, a narrow disk in a wide
bus would not slow the bus down.

On the other hand, I understood Toth to be talking about bus
clock only. In that case, his previous statement is as true
as yours, which, oddly enough, was made in argument to it. ;)
