SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.
The Choice: 5/7, 6/8.
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS
strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed.
Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable perfor-
mance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed
in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumu-
late its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete
and the DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance;
and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only
when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-
FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Video BIOS Cacheable
Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS , resulting in better
system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory
area, a system error may result.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM.
When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information
of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually
discusses their memory requirements.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
