DRAM Timing By SPD: When this item is Enabled, the BIOS automatically sets the DRAM Clock, SDRAM Cycle Length and Bank Interleave settings. If Disabled, user can set DRAM timings of the system manually. DRAM Timing by SPD overrides the manual settings and sets/reads data of DRAM Clock, SDRAM Cycle Length and Bank Interleave from the SPD chip on the memory module.
Page 50
Enabled BIOS access cached Disabled BIOS access not cached Video RAM Cacheable: Select Enabled allows caching of the video RAM , resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. Frame Buffer Size: Specify the size of system memory to allocate for video memory, from 1 MB to 8 MB.
Page 51
CPU to PCI Writer Buffer: When this field is Enabled, writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered, to compensate for the speed differences between the CPU and the PCI bus. When Disabled, the writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the write is complete before starting another write cycle.
Integrated Peripherals The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.
Page 53
