4.5.4 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address
Strobe) and CAS (Column Address Strobe) signals. This delay occurs
when the SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Reducing the
delay improves the performance of the SDRAM.
4.5.5 DRAM RAS# Precharge
This option sets the number of cycles required for the RAS to accumulate
its charge before the SDRAM refreshes. The default Precharge Delay is
3.
4.5.6 DRAM Data Integrity Mode
Select ECC if your memory module supports it. The memory controller
will detect and correct single-bit soft memory errors. The memory con-
troller can also be able to detect double-bit errors though it cannot correct
them. This provides increased data integrity and system stability.
4.5.7 MGM Core Frequency
This field sets the frequency of the DRAM memory installed. The default
setting is Auto Max 266MHz.
4.5.8 System BIOS Cacheable
The setting of Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at
F000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
4.5.9 Video BIOS Cacheable
The Setting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-
F7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any program
writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
4.5.10 Memory Hole At 15M-16M
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be
reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory
space below 16 MB. The choices are Enabled and Disabled.
4.5.11 Delayed Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay
transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI spec-
ification version 2.1.
4.5.12 Delay Prior to Thermal
This field activates the CPU thermal function after the systems boots for
the set number of minutes. The options are 16Min and 64Min.
