Just installed the PI4865PE PLUS Dragon 2 w/a 3GHz. So far it's been a
pretty good system for what I usually do. Have some questions that
some of you may be able to help me find the answer to.

I would like to experiment a little with the manual CPU settings. When
I go into BIOS and set the Frequency settings to manual then try to
adjust the frequency it displays the message "Key in a DEC number".
what are they asking for? What is a "DEC" number?

I've tried looking on the SOYO site, but either that information isn't
available there, or it is and I've just been blind as a bat and have
missed it.

Is there a good source of information out there that explains in
detail the different BIOS settings for this board?

Thanks for the help.

It's asking you to manually type in the Frequency you wish to run the
motherboard at. So with a 800Mhz P-4 you would start with 200 (200Mhz
times 4 channels = 800Mhz) and to overclock would be 201, 202 and so
on.
