2) CPU and DRAM Frequency Selection (DIP_SW Switches 1–4)

This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, DRAM, and the PCI bus, permiting selection of the CPU’s External frequency (or, BUS Clock) and the DRAM memory speed.

WARNING! Set the CPU frequency only to the recommended settings. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies are not guaranteed to be stable. Overclocking the processor is not recommended. It may result in a slower speed.
