3-3 Advance Chipset Features
By choosing the Advanced Chipset Features option from the Standard CMOS Features
menu(Figure 3-1), the screen below is displayed. This sample screen contains the
manufacturer's default values for the mainboard
.
All of the above settings have been determined by the mainboard manufacturer
and should not be changed unless you are absolutely sure of what you are
doing. Explanation of the DRAM timing and chipset features setup is lengthy,
highly technical and beyond the scope of this manual. Below are abbreviated
descriptions of the functions in this setup menu. You can look on the world
wide web for helpful chipset and RAM configuration information including
AWARD's web site at http://www.award.com.
A. AGP Aperture Size
Select the size of Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture. The aperture is a portion
of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host
cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation.
