In the DRAM configuration portion of the BIOS we
have the usual memory tweaks we'd expect from a motherboard, like CAS Latency, RAS
To CAS and Row precharge. We can also set the memory to run at different speeds.
In the LDT & PCI Bus Control you can adjust the width of the
HyperTransport link as well as its operating frequency.
In Frequency/Voltage Control
you can change the multiplier according to what processor you're running. PCI Express
speed can also be adjusted but it's best to leave this at 100 MHz (its default).
Motherboard clock speed can be adjusted between 200-300 MHz in 1 MHz increments.
Maximum CPU voltage is 1.85V while DDR is 2.9V and HyperTransport is 1.35V. You
can also bump the Northbridge and Southbridge voltages up 0.3V+.
