metnick Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 I just recently lurched through my first computer build. In my Award BIOS, when I was ready to insert manual values for CPU:DRAM frequency settings, there was a field for keying in a "DEC number". Google didn't help me in getting an explanation. Hoping someone here will donate their time to educate me or perhaps direct me to a link where I can learn about it.The motherboard is a Soyo and the processor is a Pentium4, 2.4 GHz.....if that is helpful. Thanks.Mark Quote
Gus K Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Just type in the number you want, like 133 etc. Use the top row numbers just in case num lock (key pad) isn't activated.DEC=decimal?? Quote

metnick Posted April 4, 2003 Author Posted April 4, 2003 Thanks for the reply Gus K.Thanks for clearing it up for me, STRYDER; exactly what I was trying to find out. Although the mainboard manual has a lot to say about over clocking, it never mentioned this DEC field.Much obliged to both of you.Mark Quote
