CPU Frequency Multiple
(when CPU Speed is set to [Manual])
This field sets the frequency multiple between the CPU’s internal frequency (CPU
speed) and external frequency. Set this field in conjunction with CPU Frequency
(MHz) to match the speed of the CPU.
The item CPU Frequency Multiple is accessible only if you have an unlocked
processor. If your processor frequency multiple is locked, you cannot change
the setting of this item.
Selecting a frequency higher than the CPU manufacturer recommends may
cause the system to hang or crash!
CPU Speed [Manual]
This field allows you to select the internal frequency of the CPU. If you use an
800FSB CPU and 400MHz DDR, the system will automatically detect and set the
parameters. If you use a 533FSB CPU and a 400MHz DDR, the system will only
set a 333MHz DDR or lower DDR frequency. Select [Manual] if you wish to change
the two subsequent fields.
