Advanced Chipset Features

MSI Reminds You...
Change these settings only if you are familiar with the chipset.
Adjust CAS Latency Mode
This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles)
before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. Settings: [Auto], [SPD].
CAS# Latency (Tcl)
This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles)
before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. Settings: [Auto], [2.0],
[2.5], [3.0]. [2.0] increases the system performance the most while [3.0] pro-
vides the most stable performance.
Bank Interleave
This field selects 2-bank or 4-bank interleave for the installed SDRAM. Setting options:
[Auto], [Disabled].
Burst Length
This setting allows you to set the size of Burst-Length for DRAM. Bursting feature is
a technique that DRAM itself predicts the address of the next memory location to be
accessed after the first address is accessed. To use the feature, you need to define
the burst length, which is the actual length of burst plus the starting address and
allows internal address counter to properly generate the next memory location. The
bigger the size, the faster the DRAM performance. Setting options: [8 Beats], [4
Beats] and [2 Beats].
