Chipset Features Setup

This section gives you instructions on how to configure the system

based on the specific features of the chipset. The chipset manages bus

speeds and access to system memory resources such as DRAM and

external cache. It also coordinates communications between the con-

ventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. These items should not be altered

unless necessary. Depending on your add-in boards, you may not or

should not enable some of these features. The default settings have

been chosen because they provide optimum operating conditions for

your system.
