2.4 Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the
installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources,
such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications the PCI bus. It
must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have
been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only
time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was
being lost while using your system.
