3. H/W SETUP Motherboard Settings 3. HARDWARE SETUP 1) CPU External Frequency Selection (DIP_SW Switches 6-10) 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). CPU 66.0MHz 75.0MHz 83.0MHz 100.0MHz PCI 33.4MHz 37.5MHz 41.6MHz 33.4MHz CPU 103.0MHz 105MHz 110.0MHz
