Ah right, thats the speed of the AGP slot, the standard is to leave it at auto or 66mhz... increasing it produces better speeds but may result in overheating and instability.

Probably best to leave it at auto unless you have a good reason to change it. Can easily mess stuff up by randomly testing bios settings.

O yeah, I hadn't planned on fucking with it. It's native setting is optimized, so thats good with me. I had never seen those things before, and was curious.
