External Clock

This setting controls the clock speed of the memory bus on the motherboard, and is normally 50, 60, 66 or 75 MHz. The internal processor speed is the product of the external clock speed of the motherboard and the multiplier used by the processor.

Note: When the CPU Operating Speed parameter is set to a specific number, the External Clock parameter is computed by the BIOS and this setting is disabled.
