Step 4. Adjust the CPU frequency
With the special design on this motherboard.Once thejumper
cap was inserted, it will automatically caculate the Internal/
External Clock and CLKMUL (Clock Multiplier). Just insert
the jumpercap to the CPU real frequency.The manufacture
defa ult is based on “Intel Pentium 166 MHz” There are moredetail
