Appendix: Advanced BIOS Setup
This section will introduce you the following BIOS Setup menus: “Advanced,”
“Security,” “Power,” “Boot,” and “Exit.”
1. Advanced BIOS Setup Menu
CPU Host Frequency:
[By Jumper]:
It is recommended to select this option, which will let the CPU
host frequency of this motherboard determined by the jumper-setting.
[Manual]:
This allows user to set CPU host frequency manually. However,
because the CPU host frequency of this motherboard is determined by the jumper-
setting, you must set the FSB jumper adjustment according to your AMD CPU before
you use this “Manual” option as the FSB setting in BIOS setup to perform
over clocking.
This is not recommended unless you thoroughly know the
feature. Wrong setup may cause problems during operation.
DRAM Frequency:
If set to [Auto], the motherboard detects the memory module(s) inserted and
automatically assigns appropriate frequency. You may select other value as
operating frequency: [100MHz <DDR 200>], [133MHz <DDR 266>],
[166MHz <DDR 333>], [200MHz <DDR 400>].
Spread Spectrum:
This field should always be [Disabled] for better system stability.
