The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of

the mcroprocessor whether the computer s runnng on battery or AC power. Ths field

wll appear after you nstalled the CPU whch supports speedstep technology.

DRAM Frequency

Ths settng controls the frequency of memory.

Extreme Memory Profile(X.M.P)

Ths tem s used to enable/dsable the Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP). For further

Adjusted DRAM Frequency

It shows the adjusted DRAM frequency. Read-only.
