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.
2-3-2 Over clock Running
WARNING!
This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over clocking
can result in system instability or even shortening life of the processor.
Users can choose over clock running by BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY. When you entered
CMOS SETUP UTILITY, choose “Miscellaneous Control” you will see the screen as below
then.

WARNING!
The Design of this motherboard follows chipset and CPU vender’s design
guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification are not
recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage your system or
important data. Before over clocking, you must make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, especially CPU,
memory, hard disks, and VGA cards.
