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 frontside bus frequency will equal
the core speed of the installed processor. Whether the option is open or locked
is determined by the installed processor.
SDRAM Frequency:
If set to [Auto], the motherboard will detect the inserted memory module(s) and
automatically assign appropriate frequency. You may select other value as
operating frequency: [133MHz (DDR 266)], [166MHz (DDR 333)].
Hyper Threading Technology:
To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel Pentium
®
4
processor at 3.06 GHz or higher 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 2.4.18 or higher.
This option will be hidden if the current CPU does not support Hyper-Threading
Technology.
