This item defines the size of the aperture for the Accelerated Graphics Port. The aperture is
a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space.
Right Side Items
The items on the right side of the Chipset Features option are concerned with monitoring
certain temperatures, voltages, and so on in your system. These items do not function
unless you have installed an optional system monitoring chip on your mainboard.
Power Management Setup Option
This option displays a table of items which lets you control the power management of
the system. Modern operating systems take care of much of the routine power
management. This mainboard supports ACPI (advanced configuration and power
interface).
This system supports three levels of power-saving modes; doze mode, standby mode,
and suspend mode. Standby mode uses less power than doze mode and suspend mode
uses the least power.
The power management in the setup utility lets you specify a timeout for each of the
power-saving modes, and a timeout for a hard disk drive power down. A timeout,
means a period of time when the system (or the hard disk drive) is inactive. If the
timeout completes, the system power-saving mode will execute, or the hard disk drive
will power down.
You can resume from the power-saving modes by carrying out any of the activities
which are enabled in the list **PM Events**. If the hard disk has been powered down
it will automatically resume to full power when an access to the hard disk is required
(this takes just a few seconds).
