Just bought an Epox 8kha+. an AMD 1500+ XP CPU and 256M of DDR PC2100 ram.
I have fallen at the first hurdle! There is one jumper on the board - CPU Host Clock Select with two options: 100MHz(default) and 133MHz. The speed freak in me wants to set it at 133 whilst the nervous side says leave it at 100. The bios CPU ratio goes from 6x to 15x and auto. With the XP rated at 1500+ my first thought was jumper at 100 and multiplier at 15 but a wee bell in my head said that this cpu runs at a speed equivalent to 1500meg but in reality may be something like 1300(1.33G). Does that mean I set the jumper to 133MHz and the multiplier to 10x or should I set the jumper to 100MHz and the multiplier to 13x? Should I just set it to "auto"?
Does it matter and what difference does it make?
If anyone can offer some advice with my confusion I'd greatly appreciate it.
