Operating Frequency Setting [User Define]
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. Configuration options: [Standard]
[User Define]
CPU Frequency
This feature tells the clock generator what 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 the frequency is already set to a default of 133
MHz.
DRAM Frequency
This field determines whether the memory clock frequency is set to
be in synchronous or asynchronous mode with respect to the CPU
Frequency. This must be set in conjunction with CPU (external)
Frequency to match the speed of your SDRAM. When you press
equals the CPU Frequency you select for the previous field, and the
second available option is the CPU Frequency multiplied by 4/3. To
maintain and ensure system stability, DRAM Frequency is set to
[100 MHz] when the BIOS setup default settings are loaded/selected.
