The BIOS

The board uses the Award Modular BIOS 6.00PG. It features a Jumperless CPU setup utility, which is most common in today's high-end boards. The FSB speed is determined by the CPU speed you're running and vary accordingly. The following table will give you an understanding of the various FSB speeds available depending on your CPU clock.

This kind of limitation is a good feature to be included for all those budding overclockers, since you are restricted from pushing the processor too far away from the default FSB. However for a hardcore overclocker who wants to literally squeeze every ounce of power from his CPU, these restrictions can be a nightmare. Therefore in order not to disappoint these guys Transcend has included jumpers on the board, which allow you to manually set the FSB speed. Manual setting up gives you the option of choosing a wide range of FSB speeds from 66MHz to 166MHz in 1MHz increments, which gives all you overclocking enthusiasts a whole load of numbers to mess around with.
