3. HARDWARE SETUP 2) AGP Bus Frequency Setting (DSW Switch 6) This option sets the frequency ratio between the AGP bus frequency and the DRAM (CPU bus) frequency. The default sets the AGP bus frequency to be 2/3 of the DRAM frequency. When the CPU/DRAM frequency is set to 66MHz, set this switch to [ON]. See the processor table on the next page.

3. H/W SETUP Motherboard Settings 3. HARDWARE SETUP 3) CPU External Frequency Selection (DSW Switches 7-10) This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, DRAM, and the PCI bus. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External frequency (or BUS Clock). The BUS Clock multiplied by the Frequency Multiple equals the CPU’s Internal fre- quency (the advertised CPU speed).
