Spread Spectrum:

This field should always be [Disabled] for better system stability.

CPU Host Frequency:

This shows current CPU host frequency of the installed motherboard.

CPU Ratio Selection:

CPU Ratio is the multiple that times the front side bus frequency will equal the core speed of the installed processor. Whether the option is open or locked is determined by the installed processor.

DRAM Frequency:

If [Auto] is selected, the motherboard will detect the memory module(s) inserted and assigns appropriate frequency automatically.

Flexibility Option:

The default value of this option is [Disabled]. It will allow better tolerance for memory compatibility when it is set to [Enabled].

Hyper-Threading Technology:

To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel® Pentium®4 processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating system that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP. Set to [Auto] if using Microsoft® Windows® XP, or Linux kernel version

2.4.18or higher. This option will be hidden if the current CPU does not support Hyper-Threading technology.
