Hello, I once again find myself praying to the [H]ard Gods.

When In my Bios there is a setting called CPU interface : Optimal, and Aggressive. When switched into aggressive mode my scores go up. I was just wondering of the function itself, seeing as my FSB and memory are already overclocked and AGP is 66mhz.

It looks something like this.

FSB Pareameters : Expert
FSB: 217 (434DDR)
CPU Interface: Agressive
Memory Interface:Expert
8
3
3
2.5
AGP Frequency: 66mhz

I was just wondering what It actually did , and would it be damaging any hardware. I thought the other settings being set to expert would overrule CPU Interface...So it seems rater out of place among the settings. Just wondering it's purpose. It does raise my scores for memory a slight bit. Thanks!

It might have been useful if you listed your motherboard, but anyway, I think optimal would refer to standard or more stable settings within the cpu itself, where agressive would refer to tighter or overclocked settings. My NF7-S has a enable/disable setting for enabling cpu interface (which it describes as standard or overclocked).
