CPU SPEED SETUP

The system bus speed is selectable between 66 / 100 MHz. The user can
select the system bus speed (SW1) and change the DIP SWITCH (SW2)
selection to set up the CPU speed for 233 - 650MHz processor.

Set System Bus Speed

The CPU speed MUST match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause
system hanging up if the frequency RATIO is higher than that of CPU.

Note: We don’ t recommend you to set up your system speed to 75, 83,

112, 133 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, 133 MHz
properly will depend on your hardware configurations: CPU,
SDRAM, Cards, etc.
