[. . . ] This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. ) This section provides information on the BIOS version, CPU base clock, CPU frequency, memory frequency, total memory size, CPU temperature, Vcore, and memory voltage. - 28 - `` M. I. T. Current Status This screen provides information on CPU/memory frequencies/parameters. `` Advanced Frequency Settings && BCLK/PCIe Clock Control Allows you to manually set the CPU base clock and PCIe bus frequency in 1 MHz increments. (Default: Auto) Important: It is highly recommended that the CPU frequency be set in accordance with the CPU specifications. This item is configurable only when NB Clock Control is set to Manual. The adjustable range is from 300 MHz to 2000 MHz. && NB Clock (Mhz) && Processor Graphics Clock && CPU Clock Ratio Allows you to alter the clock ratio for the installed CPU. Displays the current operating CPU frequency. && CPU Frequency - 29 - `` Advanced CPU Core Features && CPU Clock Ratio, CPU Frequency The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. Allows you to determine whether to enable the Core Performance Boost (CPB) technology, a CPU performance-boost technology. (Default: Auto) Allows you to determine whether to improve CPU performance. (Default: Disabled) && Core Performance Boost (Note) && Turbo CPB (Note) && CPB Ratio (Note) && Cool&Quiet Enabled  Allows you alter the ratio for the CPB. (Default: Auto) L  ets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to reduce heat output from your computer and its power consumption.   Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Enabled) && SVM Mode && C6 Mode  Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled) (Note) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature. - 30 - && CPU core Control Allows you to determine whether to manually enable/disable CPU cores. Automatic mode allows the BIOS to enable all CPU cores (number of cores available depends on the CPU being used). (Default: Automatic mode) && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note) Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled. Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on AMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled. (Default: Auto) This value is automatically adjusted according to the BCLK/PCIe Clock Control and System Memory Multiplier settings. && AMD Memory Profile (A. M. P. ) (Note) && System Memory Multiplier && Memory Frequency (MHz) `` Advanced Memory Settings && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note), System Memory Multiplier, Memory Frequency(Mhz) The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. (Note) This item is present only when you install a memory module that supports this feature. [. . . ] Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver that suits your operating system. When completed, proceed with the Windows XP installation. (The following instructions use Windows 7 as the example operating system. ) Boot from the Windows 7 setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting you to load the driver appears, select Browse. Then browse to the USB flash drive that contains the driver and select the location of the driver. [. . . ]
