6. Speed Gear Operation
Speed Gear is an
over-clocking tool
developed by Leadtek,
which you can use to
conveniently adjust the
speeds of your CPU,
memory, and PCI. You can
install Speed Gear from the
software CD. Once it is
installed, you can double
click the icon in the system
tray to bring up the menu.
The operation is described
below:
1. When this indicator is yellow, the changes are applied to every bootup. When
it is red, the setting changes only affect this boot session. You can click on
the indicator to switch between yellow and red.
2. The number shows the speed of CPU’s FSB. The default value is determined
by the value in the <<< X-BIOS II >>> setup screen in BIOS Setup.
3. The ID of the speed combination of CPU’s FSB, memory, and PCI as a group.
There are three groups: A, B, and C.
4. The number shows the speed of memory. This
value changes in proportion to the changes of
CPU’s FSB.

control panel of four buttons as shown in the
