BIOS Setup
SDRAM Burst Length
This setting allows you to set the size of Burst-Length for DRAM.
Bursting feature is a technique that DRAM itself predicts the address of
the next memory location to be accessed after the first address is accessed.
To use the feature, you need to define the burst length, which is the actual
length of burst plus the starting address and allows internal address counter
to properly generate the next memory location. The bigger the size, the
faster the DRAM performance. Settings:
4 QW
,
8 QW
.
