This item enables you to set the clock speed and system bus for
your system. The clock speed and system bus are determined
by the kind of processor you have installed in your system.

Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk
Default: Enabled
When this item is enabled, BIOS will disable the clock signal of free
DIMM and PCI slots.
Spread Spectrum
Default:
±±±±
0.5%
If you enable spread spectrum, it can significantly reduce the EMI
(Electro-Magnetic Interference) generated by the system.
CPU Host/PCI Clock
Default: Default
These items appear if you have set the CPU Internal Core Speed to
Manual. Use the CPU/DIMM/PCI Clock to set the frontside bus fre-
quency for the installed processor (usually 133 MHz, 100 MHz or 66
MHz). Then use CPU Clock Ratio to set a multiple.
CPU Clock Ratio
Default: Auto
Use this item to select a multiplier for the system frontside bus (FSB)
frequency. The value of the multiplier must be set so that:
Multiplier x Frontside Bus Frequency = CPU Clock Speed
