SW2:External Frequency Selection

CPU

1 2

100MHz

ON ON

133MHz

OFF OFF

This potion tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU,
DRAM and the PCI bus. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External
Frequency(or Bus Clock). The Bus Clock multiplied by the Frequency Multiple
equals the CPU’s Intemal frequency (the advertifed cpu speed).

The following list contains the standard settings for the AMD Athlon and
Duron CPUs known at time of publication:
