CPU FSB frequency will be 34.5MHz x 4 =138MHz.

The SDRAM working frequency will be 34.5MHz x 3 =103.5MHz.

And the PCI bus working frequency will be 34.5MHz x 1 = 34.5MHz.

Giving you all the proper values

(within a few MHz or so, its

never exactly precise.)

ABIT patented technology, SoftMenu™ allows you to adjust the FSB working
frequency, when you adjust the working frequency, please choose the proper values
for the FSB : SDRAM : PCI for your CPU. For example:

A CPU rated for 66MHz FSB ( such as Celeron

™

)

66MHz (2:3:1) (each divided by 2): 66MHz : 100MHz : 33MHz

or a CPU rated for 100MHz FSB (such as Pentium

®

III Coppermine using FC-

PGA)

100MHz (3:3:1) (each divided by 3) 100MHz : 100MHz : 33MHz

or a CPU rated for 133MHz FSB (such as a Pentium

®

III Coppermine using

FC-PGA)

133MHz (4:3:1) (each divided by 4) 133MHz : 100MHz : 33MHz

Note:

the various components and their corresponding “bus speeds” should still
work fine, nonetheless going too far “out of spec” may cause system damage
or malfunction. System performance will depend mainly on the quality of the
components used.

Note

CPU bus speed above 66MHz/100MHz/133MHz supported but not guaranteed due to

the PCI and chipset specs.
