Please note that when disabling this setting, the system BIOS is vulnerable

by  intrusion  of  computer  viruses.  It  is  recommended  to  disable  this  setting

only temporarily while updating your system's BIOS.

H.  Hardware  Reset  Protect

When enabled, your PC's hardware reset button will not function. This function

is especially useful to prevent accidental resets for file servers and routers, etc.

which should be available 24 hrs/day.  When disabled, your PC's hardware reset

button will function normally.

I. Spectrum  Spread

When  Enabled  this  function  will  cause  lower  EMI  by  spreading  the  system

frequency  spectrum.    While  this  function  decreases  EMI,  system  stability  may

be slightly compromised.  Choosing Smart Clock will turn off the AGP, PCI, and

SDRAM  clocks  when  not  in  use.    Smart  Clock  does  not  perform  a  spectum

spreading  function.J

J. CPU  Host/PCI  Clock

This funtion allows you to manually select a timing combination for the CPU and

the  PCI  bus.
