MSI Reminds You...

• According to the Intel North Bridge 945GC chipset spec, this board supports CPU of FSB 800MHz at maximum by default . However, you may let your board running at FSB 1066MHz (Core 2 Duo CPUs) by overclocking and adjusting the CPU FSB frequency in the BIOS:

Enter BIOS setup menu and go to [Frequency/Voltage Control] --gt; [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency]. There you can adjust the value to [266] for the Core 2 Duo E63XX/E64XX/ E66XX/E6700 CPUs. Please be noted that this is over-spec, and this overclocking behavior is not recommended and guaranteed.
