DRAM CAS# Latency
This item determines the operation of SDRAM memory CAS (column address
strobe). It is recommended that you leave this item at the default value. The 2T
setting requires faster memory that specifically supports this mode.
Performance Mode Select
You can enable this item to achieve a better performance; however, it is neces-
sary to use a better DDR SDRAM going with this function.
MA 1T/2T Select
This item adjusts timing 1T/2T latency. We recommend you to leave this item at
the default value.
Auto detect DIMM/PCI Clock
When this item is enabled, BIOS will disable the clock signal of free DIMM/PCI
slots.
Spread Spectrum
If you enable spread spectrum, it can significantly reduce the EMI (Electro-
Magnetic Interference) generated by the system.
Max CPUID Value Limit
When this item is enabled, you can use Prescott CPU and LGA-775 CPU and
there will be a normal NT4.0 installation; otherwise, the automatically restarting
will occur while installing.
