CPU External Frequency (MHz) [XXX] (value is auto-detected)
Indicates the frequency sent by the clock generator to the system bus and
PCI bus. The bus frequency (external frequency) multiplied by the bus
multiple equals the CPU speed. The value of this item is auto-detected by
BIOS and is not manually configurable. The values range from 100 to 400.
Refer to the following table for the correct Front Side Bus and CPU
External Frequency settings.
