CPU Internal Frequency

This field displays the internal frequency of your CPU. Changes to the CPU Frequency Multiple field are reflected here after rebooting the PC and re-entering BIOS. Note selecting a frequency higher than the CPU manufacturer recommends may cause the system to hang or crash.

CPU Frequency Multiple [8.0x]

This field automatically sets the frequency multiple between the CPU’s internal frequency (CPU speed) and the external frequency. Increasing the multiple increases the CPU internal frequency. Reboot the computer for changes to take effect. Configuration options: [8x] [10x] [11x]...[24x]

RDRAM Turbo Mode [Disabled]

This feature enables the RDRAM Turbo feature. Select to improve system performance. BIOS will optimize the RDRAM timing register. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

RDRAM Frequency:FSB Ratio (MHz) [Auto]

This feature tells the clock generator which frequency to send to the RDRAM. The default setting [Auto] makes the system detect and set the ratio according to the type of RDRAM module. The [Auto] default balances performance with stability. Alternatively, with PC600 RDRAM, select [3x], and with PC800 RDRAM, select [4x]. If overclocking the CPU, select [3x] to maintain stability. Configuration options: [Auto] [3x] [4x]
