BIOS Settings

by ins413 . Updated 24 years, 2 months ago

I have recently purchased a new motherboard with a P4 1.8. The board supports PC/1600 DDR memory, which I have filled the banks with. The board is a Tyan 510 Trinity. I check the BIOS settings and the clock frequency is set at 100MHz. The multiplier is set at 18x. These are auto configured settings. The FSB speed listed in the BIOS is at 100 MHz. This doesn’t seem right, although it may be. I thought PC/1600 ran at 200MHz. Therefore, shouldn’t the settings be at 200MHz and 9x multiplier? The BIOS will allow me to manually configure the settings, but the max frequency is 132MHz. This is a very new board, therefore no updates are necessary. I just don’t get it. Can someone please shed some light on this subject? Thank you in advance…
