I woul like to know what 'spread spectrum' in the BIOS does. I have seen it mentioned several times as something to turn off in your BIOS especially for OCers. I have inferred that it somehow reduces RF interference though I am not sure. I tried googling but just got many pages about data transmission/communication over radio using a spread spectrum technique. MAybe I should just learn how to google better :)
Any info would be much appreciated. BTW on my old clunker here it is enabled in the BIOS so should I disable it?
Thanks again in advance.
