What are these?

edited January 2005 in Hardware
In the bios there is a setting called FSB spread spectrum. It can be set to disabled, .50% and 1.00%. What do these settings do. The next one is AGP spread spectrum with the same settings what does that one do also?

    Those settings reduce the EMI for that item.

    You can set them to disabled and try it. The higher the number the more reduction in EMI you will have.

    Turning on Spread Spectrum can adversly effect overclocking stability; if you are playing with that. Generally it's best to leave it disabled unless you are experiencing instability at normal clocks.
