CPU Operating Speed: 

This  option sets the CPU speed. Different CPU brands use different techniques to 
indicate the CPU speed. For example, AMD and Cyrix use P-Rating. 
In this field, the CPU speed is  indicated like  this:  CPU speed   (external  clock  x 
multiplier  factor) 
Select the CPU speed according the type and the speed of your CPU.  
Usually, you do not need to enter the clock and multiplier  factor unless you try to 
use the “User Define” CPU speed. 

Note 1For Intel Pentium CPUs, you can choose the following settings: 

 100 (66x1.5)  

 120 (60x2)  

 133 (66x2)

  

 150 (60x2.5)  

 166 (66x2.5)  

 200 (66x3) 

Note 2For AMD-K5 CPUs from AMD, you can choose the following P-Ratings: 

 PR120 (60x1.5) 

 PR133 (66x1.5) 

 PR166 (66x1.75) 

Note 3For Cyrix 6x86 and 6x86L CPUs, you can choose the following P-Ratings: 

 PR120+ (50x2) 

PR133+ (55x2)

  

 PR150+ (60x2) 

PR166+ (66x2)

 

 

Note 4User define external clock and multiplier  factor: 

 User Define 

 External Clock:

 

 50MHz 

 55MHz 

 60MHz 

 66MHz 

 75MHz 

 83MHz 

 Multiplier  Factor:

 

You can choose the following multiplier  factors: 

 1.5 

 1.75 

 2.0 

 2.5 

 3.0 

 3.5 

However,  differences  will  exist  because  of  the  various 

brands and types available. 

Normally, 

we do  not  recommend  that  you  use  the 

User  Define

 option  to 

setup  CPU speed  and multiplier  factor,

 especially  for setup of future CPUs whose 

specifications are still unknown at the time of this publication. The specifications of  all 
present CPUs are included in the default settings. Unless you are very familiar with all 
CPU parameters,  it  is  very  easy  to  make  mistakes  when  you  define by  yourself  the 
external clock and the multiplier  factor. However, the BIOS will reset the CPU to a safe 
speed when you turn the power on second time after the main board fail to boot.
