What is it? And also what is PCI spread spectrum?

Woah, does it have any relation?

the spread spectrum truned on elimnate EMI, Electro Magnetic Interferance. Which can Make your processor Frequncy spike from the Magnetic Wave lengths. EMI can affect the CPU Freq. kind of like a really quick rev up for your CPU frequncy. it will make it go from 3.0HGz to anything that will make your PC lock up. So if you are palgued by EMI then keep in on. but that's only in a Very unusual circumstance.
It's bad for overclocking so turn it off.
Just like the "Auto Disable PCI Frequency" option. PCI frequency can cause mild EMI effects as well. So when "Enbled" it will turn Off UNUSED PCI slots that could cause EMI. Lessening the chance of that adversly affecting your OCing....

Because with overclocking, you do not want what your processor to register non- anomalous signals as anomalous (errors). The reason behind this is that you do not need your processor to register signals which are within a super strict range of amplitude when overclocking. The only reason it's there is so the computer doesn't register interference from its surrounding i.e. EM interference. With overclocking, unless you live above very powerful powerlines or you're in high radio traffic area, it's to your advantage to turn it off. You actually want that filter (Spread Spectrum) to be slightly loose so that any signal that would have been considered anomalous will no longer be, and thus will be registered by the processor. Which ultimately reduces the chance of experiencing a BSOD
