USB Keyboard Support 

 

Select 

Enabled

 if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller 

and you have a USB keyboard.

 

 

OnChip Sound

 

 

This item allows you to control the onboard AC 97 audio.

 

 

CPU to PCI Write buffer 

 

When this field is 

Enabled,

 writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered, to 

compensate for the speed differences between the CPU and the PCI bus.  

When 

Disabled

, the writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the 

write is complete before starting another write cycle. 

 

PCI Dynamic Bursting

 

 

When

 Enabled,

 every write transaction goes to the write buffer.  Burstable 

transactions then burst on the PCI bus and nonburstable transactions don’t. 

 

PCI Master 0 WS Write

 

 

When 

Enabled,

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

 

PCI Delay Transaction

 

 

The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay 

transactions cycles.  Select 

Enabled

 to support compliance with PCI specifica-

tion version 2.1.

 

 

PCI#2 Access #1 Retry 

 

When disabled, PCI#2 will not be disconnected until access finishes (difault).  

When enabled, PCI#2 will be disconnected if max retries are attempted with-

out success. 

 

AGP Master 1 WS Write 

 

When 

Enabled,

 writes to the AGP(Accelerated Graphics Port) are executed with 

one wait states.
