Configure Memory Your board comes with four DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 1.5GB of main memory using unbuffered and registered DIMM modules from 8MB to 256/512MB. On this motherboard, DRAM speed can be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed. Depending on the DRAM clock speed setting in the BIOS setup (Chapter 3), appropriate memory modules must be used. For 66MHz DRAM speed, use PC66 memory; for 100MHz DRAM speed, use PC100 memory; for 133MHz DRAM speed, use PC133 memory.

Set the CPU Frequency You do not need to set any jumper for the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are changed through the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. Please refer to Chapter 3 - Quick BIOS Setup for details on how to set the Slot 1 processor frequency. External Suspend Button (JP1) Some cases come with a suspend button, insert the plug into JP1. In addition to this button, the system can also enter the suspend mode through your OS. Note: Suspend mode only functions if your Power Management mod
