Latency Timer

This setting allows you to set the clock rate for the Bus Master. A high-priority, 

high-throughout device may benefi t from a greater clock rate. The options are 

Default

, 0020h, 0040h, 0060h, 0080h, 00A0h, 00C0h, and 00E0h. For Unix, 

Novell and other Operating Systems, please select the option: Other. If a drive 

fails after a  new software is installed, you might want to change this setting and 

try again. A different OS requires a different Bus Master clock rate

.

Large Disk Access Mode

This setting defi nes the area in a hard drive that can be accessed by the user.

rect value, timing or a very high DRAM frequency may cause system 

instability. When this occurs, reset the setting to the default setting.

Accelerate MRC

Select Disable to skip Memory Reference Code (MRC) processing at bootup if there 

is no change to DIMM population. The options are Enabled and 

Disabled

Clock Spectrum Feature

If Enabled, the BIOS will monitor the level of Electromagnetic Interference caused 

by the components and will attempt to decrease the interference whenever needed. 

The options are Enabled and 

Disabled

Crystal Beach Confi guration Enable

Select Enabled to use the Intel I/O AT (Acceleration Technology) to accelerate the
