It is recommended to leave as default (255), because changing CPU ratios may render your system inoperable. Sets the ratio between CPU Core Clock and the FSB Frequency. If an invalid ratio is set in CMOS then actual and setpoint values may differ. To modify, hit backspace and type new ratio. CPU Ratio CMOS Setting 255 Hyper-Threading Enable This setting allows you to take advantage of Hyper-Threading enabled Xeon processors. [. . . ] PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shift the processor over and down, guiding into the board and locking it into place. 44 http://www.
