Auto
This item is reserved for engineering purpose to let
you assign an IRQ manually to the add-on card on
each PCI slot. If you select Auto, system will
automatically assign an available value to the device.
It is suggested to use default setting, which is Auto,
in order to comply with PnP specification completely.
3.7 Load Setup Defaults
The "Load Setup Defaults" option loads optimized settings for optimum system
performance. Optimal settings are relatively safer than the Turbo settings.
We recommend you to use the Optimal settings if your system has large
memory size and fully loaded with add-on card (for example, a file server using
double-sided 8MB DIMM x4 and SCSI plus Network card occupying the PCI
and ISA slots).
Optimal is not the slowest setting for this mainboard. If you need to verify a
unstable problem, you may manually set the parameter in the "BIOS Features
Setup" and "Chipset Features Setup" to get slowest and safer setting.
3.8 Load
Turbo
Defaults
The "Load Turbo Defaults" option gives better performance than Optimal
values. However, Turbo values may not be the best setting of this mainboard
but these values are qualified by the AOpen RD and QA department as the
reliable settings especially if you have limited loading of add-on card and
memory size (for example, a system that contains only a VGA/Sound card and
two DIMMs).
