System Performance

This item will help you to configure your system performance.
Options: Optimal, Aggressive, Turbo, Expert.

CPU Clock Ratio

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

For example, if you have a processor that is rated to run at 450 MHz and the
system is running a frontside bus frequency of 100 MHz, you should select a
multiplier of 4.5 so that:

4.5 (Multiplier) x 100 MHz (frontside bus) = 450 MHz (CPU clock)
