Performance Mode
Allows you to control the MAT (memory acceleration technology) function of CPU. MAT is MSITM
exclusive technology, specialized in optimizing the data transfer rate among CPU, N/B chip and
memory, and also in procuring better memory performance and bandwidth up to 10%. Selecting [Fast]
enables MAT. Note that not every memory is compatible with MAT. If the system fail to reboot for four
times, the BIOS will be restored to the Default value ([Normal]). Setting options: [Normal], [Fast].
CPU Ratio Selection
This setting controls the multiplier that is used to determine the internal clock speed of the processor
relative to the external or motherboard clock speed.
DRAM Frequency
Use this field to configure the clock frequency of the installed DRAM. Settings are:
PSB 400: [100-355MHz] PSB 533: [133-500MHz]
Spread Spectrum
When the motherboard
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by
modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have
any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. But if
you are plagued by EMI, activate the Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction. Remember to disable
Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost
in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. Options: [Disabled],
[Enabled].
Adjust CPU Bus Clock (Mhz)
This item allows you to select the CPU Bus clock frequency (in MHz) and overclock the processor by
