Does anyone have documentation for this kit?

I want to know about a jumper on the VRM adapter labelled "AMD2X". What the hell is it for?

The official Gainberry manual is 19 pages of novicile gibberish to ensure the user inserts the CPU in the correct orientation. I painfully skimmed through it and did not see any mention of AMD2X.

To which CPU pin is the jumper connected? R17 maybe? Which is configured as CLKMUL on both the Cyrix and AMD 5x86, as well as the i486DX4 and the 2nd generation Am486DX4.

The jumper with the white cap is for the clockmul. AMD2X is for perhaps an earlier version of AMD DX4? I've never owned one of those chips so I'm not sure.
