What should my 'CPU ratio' be? (1 Viewer)

[Rob Lutter]

Like the header says... my mobo (ECS K7S6A) has a jumper to set 'CPU Ratio'... what should I set this to for an AMD AthlonXP 2000+? Is there a standard position?
Thanks!

Athlon XP 2000+ is actually 1.67 GHz. The ratio is 12.5x. (12.5 x 133 MHz bus speed = 1.667 GHz)

Isn't that a jumperfree mobo? If so, just set it to jumperless mode and BIOS will pick the correct ratio.

I have the previous model of that mobo, and I can tell you for sure that it's jumperless. Unless ECS has taken a step backwards, I would think it's still jumperless. Just do the auto settings through the BIOS.

On the 5A, you can't actually pick the multipier clock. All you can pick is the bus/CPU frequency. (ie. 133/133, 100/100, 100/133).

Actually...now that I look at it closer... you can do it both ways on the 6A. There IS a jumper BUT it can be either set to the multiplier OR tell it to do it automatically (which I am going to leave it in).
Thanks for your help!
