4) CPU External Frequency Setting (DSW Switches 1–4)
This option tells the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU, SDRAM,
and the chipset. This allows the selection of the CPU’s External frequency. The
CPU External Frequency multiplied by the Frequency Multiple equals the CPU’s
Internal frequency (the advertised CPU speed).
IMPORTANT:
1. To use this feature, check the JEN and PO_VID jumper settings: (see
JumperFree™ Mode (JEN) on the previous pages.
