DRAM ECC Function
DRAM ECC
Function
Enabled
Disabled
This item lets you enable or disable DRAM ECC
function. The ECC algorithm has the ability to detect
double bit error and automatically correct single bit
error.

CPU-to-PCI IDE Posting
CPU-to-PCI IDE
Posting
Enabled
Disabled
To enable or disable CPU to PCI IDE post write cycle.
The IDE write cycles will be queued in the FIFO or
buffer, and CPU can be released to do next job.
Disable it, if you find any IDE compatibility problem.

For some old I/O chips, after the execution of an I/O
command, the device requires a certain amount of
time (recovery time) before the execution of the next
I/O command. Because of new generation CPU and
mainboard chipset, the assertion of I/O command is
faster, and sometimes shorter than specified I/O
recovery time of old I/O devices. This item lets you
specify the delay of 8-bit I/O command by count of
ISA bus clock. If you find any unstable 8-bit I/O card,
you may try to extend the I/O recovery time via this
item. The BIOS default value is
4 ISA clock.
If set to
NA, the chipset will insert 3.5 system clocks.
