Auto
default)
Disables or selects the address for the integrated serial port and determines
how the serial port operates.
•
Off
— The serial port is disabled.
•
Auto
— The BIOS selects between COM1 and COM3; if both resources are
in use the port is disabled.
•
COM1
— The port is configured at 3F8h with IRQ 4.
•
COM3
— The port is configured at 3E8h with IRQ 4.
PS/2 Mouse Port
(
On
default)
Enables or disables the onboard PS/2-compatible mouse controller.
•
Off
— The PS/2 legacy mouse port is disabled.

CPU Clock Speed
Provides limited capability to adjust the CPU clock speed so that the CPU
operates at a different frequency than that designated in the manufacturer’s
design specifications.
NOTE:
To enable overclocking, you first need to enable the option in BIOS and
then download an application like NVIDA
®
nTune™ version 5.0 or higher.
