Operating Frequency Setting [Standard]
When the motherboard is set to JumperFree™ mode, this field allows you
to configure the external frequency of your CPU. Select [User Define] if
you want to make changes to the CPU Frequency field. When [Standard]
is selected, CPU (external) Frequency will be fixed at 100MHz. Configu-
ration options: [Standard] [User Define]
CPU Clock Multiplier (when Operating Frequency Setting is set
to [User Define])
The field displays the frequency multiple between the CPU’s internal
frequency and external frequency.
Set System Operation Frequency (when Operating Frequency
Setting is set to [User Define])
This allows you to increase/decrease the system frequency in 1MHz incre-
ments.
System Frequency [100MHz]
This field displays the frequency to send to the system bus and PCI bus. The
bus frequency (external frequency) multiplied by the bus multiple equals the
CPU speed (the CPU’s internal frequency). Note that selecting a frequency
higher than what the CPU manufacturer recommends may cause the system to
hang or crash. See System Hangup later in this section.
