then get the .pdf guide found here:

once you've got the basics and start clocking, then is the time to start asking for more advanced advice

All I got at the bottom of that page is Isochronous Support and Virtualization technology is it one of them i gotta disable? I def aint got spread spectrums on that menu or in the whole bios
