4.3.3Advanced Chipset Setup Defaults

This Setup is very important to keep system’s stability. If you are not technical person, do not attempt to change any parameters. The best way is to choose optimal default setting.

4.3.3.1CPU Ratio Selection

This option provides different CPU clock Ratios from 3.0x to 8.0x. When you change the ratio, the overall CPU speed will change accordingly. In the default setting of “Safe Mode”, the CPU operates its own original clock rate automatically.

Note:

It is strongly recommended to set the default setting of “ Safe Mode”. Selecting the higher CPU clock rate may get higher CPU speed, but it will cause the system unstable, the damages of the system, and even burning the CPU!

4.3.3.2ICH Delayed Transaction

ICH2 equips an embedded 32-bit post write buffer to support system delay transaction cycles. This option provides the compliance with PCI specification version 2.1 devices.
