3-4. Chipset Features Setup Menu

The Chipset Features Setup Menu is used to modify the contents of the buffers in the chipset
on the motherboard. Since the parameters of the buffers are closely related to hardware, if
the setup is not correct or is false, the motherboard will become unstable or you will not be
able to boot up. If you don't know the hardware very well, use default values (i.e. use the
LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS option).

You can use the arrow keys to move between the items. Use PgUP, PgDn, + or - key to
change the values. When you have finished setting up the chipset, press ESC to go back to
the main menu.
SDRAM CAS latency Time:
Two options are available: 2 and 3. You can select SDRAM CAS (Column Address Strobe)
latency time according your SDRAM specification.
SDRAM Precharge Control:
Two options are available: Enabled and Disabled. This option specifies the length of the
RAS precharge part of the DRAM system memory access cycle when SDRAM system
memory is installed on the motherboard. The default setting is Disabled.
