Soyo SY-P4I875P

I have a Soyo SY-P4I875P motherboard with an intel 2.6 CPU. I notice that there is a setting in the BIOS that says "NORMAL, FAST, TURBO" does anyone know what this setting "ACTUALLY" does?

Thanks

It would have to be three different front side bus speeds. Normal, Fast and Faster. How much, I do not know. You could select the middle one. Save the changes, reboot the computer, re-enter BIOS and see what it did to speeds and clocks. If it locks up, just clear the CMOS and start over with the failsafe settings.

I have a Soyo board for AMD's and it has something similar. I have never used it because of the chipset and the SCSI card don't make nice once a different than default clock speed setting is chosen.

I also did a hasty scan of your mainboard manual from the SoyoUSA website and found no mention of it there.
 
This setting automatically configures the memory latency settings. Normal uses conservative settings, while turbo uses the fastest settings compatible with your memory.
