- I'm sorry to say this, but you can forget it. The problem is not the
- BIOS, but the chipset. It is the manufacturer of the board that tells
- the BIOS company (Award) what options there are available on the
- hardware and how they are accessed from software, and Award then
- writes corresponding setup code. If your board manufacturer hasn't
- told Award to include a bus speed option, it probably ain't there at
- all. And even if it's there, there is no standard way to control a
- chipset so there won't be any programs around that can do such a
- thing, except maybe from the board manufacturer. If you want to know,
- try to contact them.
