3.3.10 Gate A20 Option

This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate A20 is a device used to address
memory above 1 Mbytes. Initially, the gate A20 was handled via a pin on the keyboard (Normal). Today,
while keyboards still provide this support, it is more common, and much faster, for the system chipset
(Fast; default) to provide support for gate A20.

3.3.11 Typematic Rate Setting

Select "Enabled" to configure "Typematic Rate" and "Typematic Delay" functions.

3.3.12 Typematic Rate

Use this option to set the rate at which a character keeps repeating while you hold down a key.

3.3.13 Typematic Delay

Select "Enabled" to set the length of delay before key strokes to repeat. Available options are "250",
"500", "750", and "1000".

3.3.14 Security Option

You can select whether the password is required every time the system boots or only when you enter the
Setup. You can assign "Supervisor Password" and "User Password" in the main CMOS Setup Utility
Screen.

3.3.15 OS Select for DRAM 

>

 64MB

If you are using OS/2 operating system and installed memory is larger than 64MB. You need to have the
setting in the enable mode.

3.3.16 Report No FDD For WIN 95

While the FDD in " STANDARD CMOS SETUP " is set to NONE, set this option to No to release IRQ6
for passing Win95 logo. This option is irrelevant under normal operation .

3.3.17 Video BIOS Shadow

Video shadow copies BIOS code from slower ROM to faster RAM. BIOS can then execute from RAM.

3.3.18 C8000-CBFFF /DC000-DFFFF Shadow

Optional firmware will be copied from ROM to RAM. When this option is enabled.

3.4 Advanced Chipset Features Setup

These settings are intended for the Advanced Chipset function on the motherboard. Fine tuning these
options, enhances the performance of the system.
