CPU SPEED SETUP
The system bus speed is selectable between 66 / 100 / 133MHz. The user can
select the system bus speed (SW1) and change the DIP SWITCH (SW2)
selection to set up the CPU speed for 233 - 650MHz processor.

The CPU speed MUST match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause
system hanging up if the frequency RATIO is higher than that of CPU.

« Note: We don’t recommend you to set up your system speed to 75, 83,
112, 124, 140, 150 MHz because these frequencies are not the
standard specifications for CPU, Chipset and most of the
peripherals. Whether your system can run under 75, 83, 112, 124,
140, 150 MHz properly will depend on your hardware
configurations: CPU, SDRAM, Cards, etc.
