Advanced Chipset Features
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting [Enabled] allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh,
resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this
memory area, a system error may result.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved for
ISA peripherals. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below
16MB. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached.

On-Chip Frame Buffer Size
Frame Buffer is the video memory that stores data for video display (frame).
This field is used to determine the memory size for Frame Buffer. Larger frame
buffer size increases video performance.
DVMT Mode
Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) allows the system to dynami-
cally allocate memory resources according to the demands of the system at any
point in time. The key idea in DVMT is to improve the efficiency of the memory
allocated to either system or graphics processor.
It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to DVMT Mode for maximum
performance. Setting it to DVMT Mode ensures that system memory is dynami-
cally allocated for optimal balance between graphics and system performance.
DVMT/FIXED Memory Size
When set to DVMT/FIXED Mode, the graphics driver will allocate a fixed amount
