CPU Speed Setup

The system bus speed is selectable at 66,100,133MHz and Auto. The user can select the
system bus speed (SW1) and change the DIP switch (SW2) selection to set up the CPU speed
for 500MHz – 1GHz processor.

Note:

1. If you use 66, 100, 133 MHz CPU, we recommend you to set up your system speed to
“Auto” value.

2. We don’t recommend you to set up your system speed to 75,83,112, 124, 140,150 MHz
because these frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, Chipset and
most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under 75,83,112, 124, 140,150
MHz properly will depend on your hardware configurations: CPU, SDRAM, Cards, etc.
