BIOS Setup 3-11
Memory Hole At 15M-16M:
When set to [Enabled], the memory address space at 15M-16M will be reserved for ISA expansion cards
that specifically requires this setting. This makes the memory from 15MB and up unavailable to the
system. Leave this item to its default setting.
Delay Prior to Thermal:
This item selects the delay time before thermal activation.
AGP Aperture Size:
This option specifies the amount of system memory that can be used by the AGP device. The aperture is a
portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space.
Init Display First:

This item determines the timing of DRAM Read Delay.
Read delay Adjust(tRDA):
This item determines to adjust the timing of DRAM Read Delay.
Command Per Clock(CPC):
This item determines the address command timing according to the DRAM strobe clock.
