Parameter	Description	Options
Spread	When the system clock generator pulses,	[Enabled], [Disabled]
Spectrum	the extreme values of the pulse generate
	excess EMI. Enabling pulse spectrum
	spread modulation changes the extreme
	values from spikes to flat curves, thus
	reducing EMI. This benefit may in some
	case be outweighed by problems with
	timing-critical devices, such as a
	clock-sensitive SCSI device.

	When enabled, the processor’s SSE and
	SSE2 instruction sets are enabled. Software
	applications can make use of those
	instructions to better process large
	amounts of data quickly.
	When disabled, the processor’s SSE and
	SSE2 instruction sets are disabled.
	Software applications will not be able to use
	those instructions to process multiple data
