Step 4. Set JP3 for power up FSB clock and AGP bus clock.

JP3 is used to adjust AGP bus clock frequency depending on the value of the front side bus (FSB) clock, also the setting of the JP3 determines the power up FSB clock which will remain effective until the BIOS set the FSB clock to the CMOS setting.

AGP Clock

AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1

AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1.5

Note: The specification of maximum AGP bus Clock frequency is 66.6MHz.

Set JP3 to pin 1-2 short when you use a FSB 100MHz CPU.

Set JP3 to pin 2-3 short when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU.

Set JP3 to pin 1-2 short when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU but want to over clock the FSB clock to 100MHz via the BIOS setting.
