BIOS Setup
Advanced Chipset Features
This section gives you functions to configure the system based on
the specific features of the chipset. The chipset manages bus speeds
and access to system memory resources.
These items should not
be altered unless necessary.
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 some incompatibility or that data was being lost
while using your system.
DRAM Timing Selectable
This field is used to select the timing of the DRAM.
By SPD
The EEPROM on a DIMM has SPD (Serial
Presence Detect) data structure that stores
information about the module such as the
memory type, memory size, memory speed, etc.
When this option is selected, the system will run
according to the information in the EEPROM. This
option is the default setting because it provides
the most stable condition for the system. The
“CAS Latency Time” and “Active to Precharge
Delay” fields will show the default settings by SPD.
The screen above list all the fields available in the Advanced Chipset Features
submenu, for ease of reference in this manual. In the actual CMOS setup, you have
to use the scroll bar to view the fields. The settings on the screen are for reference
only. Your version may not be identical to this one.
