- Setting my bus speed
- Posted by Andy in NJ on July 7th, 2004
Hello. I just downloaded a tool that gives me a bunch of technical data on
my computer. From what I am reading, my motherboard is a VIA ProSavageDDR
KM266. This motherboard's bus speed is capable of 200/266mhz. According to
the tests, the current bus speed is 100mhz. Is there some way to change
this?

Your bus is 100 Mhz but memory is clocked at 200 Mhz (Double Data Rate). If your CPU and memory will support the higher speed you can change the bus speed in the BIOS.

speed in the BIOS.
After I posted, I found the manual for my motherboard. I found the jumper
for the bus speed. When I install my new DDR memory (just bought 2 gigs!),
I'll change the jumper to 133. I assume my PC2100 DDR 233mhz memory will
support the faster bus speed?

double data rate or as we call it DDR. So you ram is actually 133X2=266.

I assumed too much. I am so spoiled by BIOS settings that I forgot the possibility you might have to change jumpers.
