The 18 refers to the processor speed.
This value is used to calculate timer values for tempo generation.
Newer CPUs have a 24 MHZ crystal, and are coded to display 24 on boot.
Actually the older CPUs seem to run OK over-clocked to 24MHz (they are rated
for 20MHz maximum).
But I wouldn't want to encourage that by releasing a patch to change the
stored value, unless someone wanted to be a guinea-pig...
