About Configuring the motherboard jumpers
Configuring the jumpers is the first thing that needs to be done. What you will want to do is consult your motherboard manual on how to set everything correctly. There are just to many motherboards out there that I can cover in this article. Most jumpers listed in your motherboards manual are already set up for you. The main ones you will have to configure are:
a) Power supply type. In the event that you have an AT/ATX motherboard you will need to set this one correctly.
b) CPU external bus frequency. This is where you specify what bus frequency your CPU is at.
c) CPU to bus frequency ratio. Look at the little box that contained your CPU, it will show you the exact ratio (should be a number like 2x, 3.0x, 3.5x, etc.)
d) CPU voltage. It's really important that you get this one right, or else you'll end up with a *really* hot CPU or a non-working board.
