Generally I measure PCI bus frequency by attaching a poor man's
'bus analyzer'. There are low end ones available. The one I use is called
the 'PC Geiger'. This has a CPLD capable of decoding the PCI logic and a
small PIC to control the display and which reads some of the CPLD registers.

I'm not aware of any chipsets which expose information about the PCI bus
clock / bus width in use. A long trawl through datasheets may be in order.
