The also thought that MOBOs on mach 5 versions (250 MHz + 86xx, 96xx) ran at 60 mhz as well. I do know the data path runs at 100mhz - this maybe between CPU and cache only though.
Mobos were 50MHz for the 8600 and 9600 series. Data path between the CPU and cache was 100MHz as you said but drops down to 50MHz for the memory and the rest of the machine. I suspect the PCI controller was the same "cruddy" one that others complain about in the 7300-9500s as their PCI ATA throughput is still limited to ~24 MB/sec reads and ~17 MB/sec writes.
