Your INTEL CPU has pins that tell the motherboard what frequency it is supposed

to run at. If your CPU is a 66Mhz or a 100Mhz type, it will use pin B21 to indicate

this. If it is high, the CPU is 66MHz type, if it is low, the CPU is a 100MHz type.

If you have a 133MHz CPU, it will use an additional pin (A14) to tell the

motherboard. If pin A14 is low, the CPU is a 133MHz type. For 66 and 100MHz

CPUs this pin is high.

The signals of these two pins are connected to the clock generator of the board

through JP3 and JP7. If both jumpers are closed, the clock generator will run the

CPU at the default frequency. (Note that both JP2 and JP4 should be open)

The frequency interval that is shown in the BIOS is related to this frequency as

follows:

66MHz CPU

66 - 100MHz interval

100MHz CPU

100 - 133MHz interval

133MHz CPU

133 or above interval

The frequency interval in the BIOS will be the same as mentioned above.

Summary (Default frequency)

The following table summarizes the above:

If the user does not want the CPU to run at the specified (default) frequency, then

JP3 and JP7 will have to be set to open. Now the frequency can be set by the user

through JP2 and 4 in the following way:

1 2

1 2 3
