3.HARDWARE SETUP

2.CPU Bus Frequency Selector (FS0, FS1, FS2, FS3)

This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, DRAM, and the AGPset. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External frequency (or BUS Clock). The BUS Clock multiplied by the BUS Ratio equals the CPU’s Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed). NOTE: You may set the memory speed independently from the CPU Bus Frequency. Depend- ing on your memory type PC66 (66MHz) or PC100 (100MHz), select the appropriate “RAM” speed along with the appropriate “CPU” speed.
