Hey i was messin around in my bios and i came accross 3 settings i am not familiar with. They were:
I did a quick search on google and foudn that the FSB one should be disabled if you have overclocked your FSB quite a bit. Well i have mine at 400 FSB.
So should i disable this? And should i disable the other ones as well?
And just out of curiosity what am i doing when these are disabled and why should it be disabled?

Summary: I can only base my answers on my board, which is an A7N8X-X, like aluminumriot has...I assume the BIOS settings are similar. Go to the "Advanced Chipset Features" section of the BIOS...try these setti...
