Ratio Status
This is a read-only item, which displays whether the ratio status of this
motherboard is “Locked” or “Unlocked”. If it shows “Unlocked”, you will find
an item
Ratio CMOS Setting
appears to allow you changing the ratio value
of this motherboard. If it shows “Locked”, then the item
Ratio CMOS Set-
ting
will be hidden. If you use the ratio value to time the CPU frequency, it will
be equal to the core speed of the installed processor.
Ratio Actual Value
This is a read-only item, which displays the ratio actual value of this
motherboard.
CPU Thermal Throttling
You may select [Enabled] to enable P4 CPU internal thermal control mecha-
nism to keep the CPU from overheated.
Hyper Threading Technology
To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel Pentium

processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating sys-
tem that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft
®
Win-
dows

XP, or Linux kernel
version 2.4.18 or higher. This option will be hidden if the installed CPU does
not support Hyper-Threading technology.

DRAM Frequency
If [Auto]
is selected, the motherboard will detect the memory module(s)
inserted and assigns appropriate frequency automatically. You may also
select other value as operating frequency: [133MHz (DDR 266)],
[166MHz (DDR 333)], [200MHz (DDR 400)].
