This section describes features of the board’ s chipset. All the entries on the screen are

automatically configured. However, you can change it according to your operating

environment.

automatically depending on whether the DRAM used is either 70ns or 60ns. The other

option is “Disabled” which allows you to change DRAM timing manually.
