Change these settings only if you are familiar with the chipset.
DRAM Clock By
Selects whether DRAM clock is controlled by the SPD (Serial Presence Detect)
EEPROM on the DRAM module. Setting to [By SPD] enables the following fields auto-
matically to be determined by BIOS based on the configurations on the SPD. User can
specifiy the desired DRAM clock among the setting options: [By SPD], [1:1], [DDR-
200], [DDR-266], [DDR-333], [DDR-400].
Current CAS Latency / Current TRCD / Current TRP / Current TRAS
These items show the current CAS latency TRCD, TRP & TRAS. Read only.
DRAM Timing
Selects whether DRAM timing is controlled by the SPD (Serial Presence Detect)
EEPROM on the DRAM module. Setting to [By SPD] enables the following fields auto-
matically to be determined by BIOS based on the configurations on the SPD. Selecting
[Manual] allows users to configure these fields manually.
CAS Latency
This field controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay before RAM
starts a read command after receiving it. Setting options are: [1], [1.5], [2], [2.5], [3],
[3.5], [4]. Setting to [1] increases system performance while [4] provides more stable
system performance.
