Sorry all but a real dumb question. Does this board have dividers? If I am thinking straight (which may not be right, I have the flu) the divider is the same as the multiplier but having the ability to reduce the multiplier. Does this sound right.

Also on page 9 of the manual it describes a 2 jumper system bus frequency. It is switchable between 100mHz, 133mHz, and 166mHz. It is currently set at 133mHz. What does this jumper do exactly?

Thanks in advance
 
The jumper allows you a different range of FSB selectable in the bios config. 100=100-132, 133=133-165, and 166=166-200Mhz.
 
The divider is totally different from Multipliers. Multis as you know increase the FSB by xtimes to give your CPU speed ie 10.5x166=1743MHz, 13x134=1742 etc etc.
What the dividers do is divide the FSB by X amount to give you the PCI/AGP speed ie at 133 and 1/4 divider PCI is 33 and 166 at 1/5 divider its again 33.
On that mobo it is as hduong says, the first range will be a 1/3 divider the next will be 1/4 and the last 1/5.
