							The explanation for overspecification and overclocking
D-1
The default specification of Intel® 865PE chipset is only able to support
FSB 400/533MHz  CPU and DDR 266/333/400 DRAM technology. However,
we have spent engineering efforts to allow the overspecification and
overclocking of 865PE Neo2-P under certain conditions. Here is the informa-
tion which could help you to achieve overclocking more easily.
Should you decide to overspec the mainboard, the following conditions
shall be satisfied in order to make overspecification possible.

2. Configure BIOS settings
You also need to configure BIOS settings for overclocking.
A. In the “Frequency/Voltage Control”, configure “Dynamic OverClocking”
and “Performance Mode” to the settings you wish to overclock.
B. In the “Frequency/Voltage Control”, configure “DRAM Frequency” to
the setting you wish to overclock.
C If the frequency after overclocking is not stable, you may fine-tune the
settings of  ‘CPU Voltage” and “DDR Power Voltage” by adjusting to a
higher value.
MSI Reminds You...
Please refer to p. 3-28 Frequency/Voltage Control  for the details
of BIOS settings.
