In this case I've used the "Load Failsafe Defaults" option to load all the least aggressive settings into BIOS. I've had to make a couple of changes then just so the system will actually boot up, but none of those changes will make any difference to the speed. Now I'm going to benchmark it, using the memory benchmark. This bench tests the ability of the system to transfer data in and out of RAM. Note that it is pretty much independant of CPU speed if all other settings, including the CPU multiplier, are the same. Anyway, here is our startpoint
