BIOS & Voltages
- SOYO COMO BIOS
- FSB speeds of 100Mhz - 255Mhz in 1MHz increments
- 4:1, 5:1, and 6:1 FSB:PCI ratios
- 1.1v - 1.85v Vcore adjustable in 0.025v increments

DDR-400 support is implied, but it's nowhere to be seen in the manual. DDR-400 seems to be a contentious issue with AMD-based motherboards. The performance with DDR-400 memory chosen, as seen on a number of motherboards, is poor to say the least.
