DRAM optimization feature: If a memory read is addressed to a location whose latest write is being held in a buffer before being written to memory, the read is satisfied through the buffer contents, and the read is not sent to the DRAM. 3.4.6 Concurrent PCI/Host When Disabled, CPU bus will be occupied during the entire PCI operation period.
3.5 Power Management Setup Power management decreases power usage under the pre-defined standby time range. Figure 3-5. POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP SCREEN ROM PCI / ISA BIOS (XXXXXXXX) POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP AWARD SOFTWARE, INC. 3.5.1 Power Management Disable Disable Power Management. Min Saving System starts power saving function when the inactivity period exceeds 1 hour.

This instructs hard drives to shut off while in the Power Management modes. 3.5.8 Doze Mode When system is inactive after the predefined time limit, system performance will drop down. This is the first level of Power Management. 3.5.9 Suspend Mode System further shuts down all devices except for CPU itself.
3.6 PNP/PCI Configuration Setup Figure 3.6 PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP ROM PCI / ISA BIOS (XXXXXXXX) PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION AWARD SOFTWARE, INC. 3.6.1 PNP OS Installed This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system. Please set it as No if the operating system has no PnP function or to avoid reassigning the IRQs by the operating system.
When enabled, writes to the PCI bus are command with zero wait states. 3.6.9 PCI Delay Transaction The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1. 3.6.10 PCI # 2 Access # 1 Retry This item allows you enabled/disabled the PCI # 2 Access # 1 Retry.
