establish the relationship between the various components.
Driver
- software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another device or
other software.
Processor
- the "Central Processing Unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used for
doing the "computing" in "personal computer"
Front Side Bus Frequency -
The working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated
by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS.
CPU L2 Cache -
The flash memory inside the CPU, normally Pentium III CPU has 256K or
above, while Celeron CPU will have 128K.
2-3-1 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper
Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency
The motherboard uses jumper less function for the front side bus frequency and SDRAM
frequency users don’t need setting any jumper when plug the CPU in motherboard
For experience user looking for over clocking possibility, please refer to sec 2-3-2.

Memory
This motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES
(DIMM) sides for DDR memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB
to maximum memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM.

Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 240-pin DDR SDRAM module looks like.
**If only one memory MODULE is used, you should install it in the DIMM2 .
