-set memory to SPD and 100, this will take memory out of equation

I'm looking at this line in the quick and dirty overclocking post. I don't know what SPD means, its not in my bios i don't think. and 100 what?

hmmm. spd usually just means auto, but you may have an spd setting as well. most memory has its best setting built into an spd table which the bios checks out and sets. 100 might be the memory divider depending on what kind of system you have. So basically you are getting the memory at stock speed and driving it even lower so that it is... out of the equation.

It just means use auto. Some manufacturers call it "set memory: 'by SPD'"
