My thoughts exactly. Does Plug 'n Play CPU ring a bell? A jumperless
motherboard doesn't necessarily mean user configurable. What if they
eventually put an image on the CPU for the operating parameters of the
CPU and there's no way to configure it. The motherboard changes the
settings once the CPU tells it what the settings should be.
