Installing the Mainboard
P-Rating
The P-Rating was defined by some manufacturers other than Intel to rate the
performance of their CPU in comparison with Intel Pentium CPUs. For instance,
Cyrix 6x86 P166+ has a higher actual speed compared with Intel Pentium P166,
its internal clock needs only 133MHz versus 166MHz for Intel' s product. The
main reason is that Cyrix has improved the internal architecture of the 6x86
CPU, which means that with the same internal clock speed, the actual clock
speed will be different.
Having read the related terminology above, please refer to the information in
appendices B, C or D for the type and specifications of your own CPU. We suggest
that you note down these specifications, which will help you when you install the
CPU.
CPU Settings:
To configure the speed and the voltage of the CPU, you must enter to the CPU
SOFT MENU in BIOS Setup.
