AGP Aperture Size

 

This field selects the size of the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture.  The aperture is a 

portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space.  

Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. 

The default is 64MB. You may increase this memory when you need to have faster access 

for 3D graphics applications (e.g. games). 

 

AGP Mode 

This item allows you to select 1x, 2x or 4x AGP mode. 

 

AGP Driving Control 

The recommended setting for this field is the default “Auto”. If you have an unstable AGP 

card you may use this field to choose the appropriate settings. If you do need to tune the 

timing, please consult your AGP Card manual or Vendor. 

 

AGP Driving Value 

This item allows you to adjust the AGP driving force. 

 

AGP Fast Write

 

Some AGP cards, like G-Force, support AGP fast write. If you have an AGP card that sup-

ports this mode you can enable this field. If your AGP card does not support the fast write 

mode then leave this field “disabled”. 

 

AGP Master 1 WS Write 

When Enabled, writes to the AGP are executed with one-wait states. 

 

AGP Master 1 WS Read 

When Enabled, reads to the AGP are executed with one-wait states. 

3.5.3. CPU & PCI Bus Control 

 

When you select this field the screen on the next page will appear: 

  CPU to PCI Write Buffer                   

[Enabled]

 

  PCI Master 0 WS Write                    

[Enabled]

 

  PCI Delay Transaction                      

[Disabled]

CPU & PCI Bus Control 

CPU to PCI Write Buffer 

When you enable this option writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered so that the 

CPU will not have to wait until the write is completed before starting another write cycle. 

 

PCI Master 0 WS Write 

When enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero wait states.
