Review of the Albatron KM18G Pro - Checking Out the BIOS
(Page 5 of 10 )
These first few screen shots shouldlook pretty familiar if you have ever manipulated any type of BIOS.Seen here is the system time, as well as drive configuration mixed inwith some basic I/Ooptions.
Next are the interesting BIOS options: theoverclocking ones. With these options you're able to set the front sidebus from 100, 102 to 200MHz and DDR:CPU ratios with the settings 1x, 1.2x, 1.3x, 1.5x, 1.6x,1.66x, 2x, 2.4x, 2.5x, 2.66x, 3x, 3.33x, 4x, or Auto. The BIOSalso gives you options for setting the memory's CAS, RAS, RCD, andRP. Additionally, there are options for configuring and overclockingthe AGPbus. So what's missing here? Oh, that's right, no voltageadjustments! None! Also missing is the CPU multiplier option! It's great Albatron gave us the options they did, but how could theyforget - or worse, choose not to include - voltage and multiplierselections? I understand that this a micro-ATX board, but I still can'tunderstand their decision, especially with the semi-beefy northbridge cooler that is installed on the KM18G Pro.
