RESERVED MEMORY Designates a region of system board memory that can be supplied by an expansion card. This feature should not be enabled unless an expansion card that requires special addressing is installed. CPU SPEED Indicates processor speed at which system boots - the processor's rated speed or a slower compatibility speed. System Setup Program A-3
