- You can change your bus speed (usually) in your advanced CMOS BIOS setup.
- You get into this setup mode by (usually) pressing the DEL key when booting up.
- A configuration utility comes up and one of the entries will be the bus speed.
- The bus speed is usually a displayed as a fraction of your CPU speed.
