Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better system performance. However,
if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The settings are: Enabled and
Disabled.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved, it
cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory
usually discusses their memory requirements. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
Delay Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select
Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1. The settings are: Enabled and
Disabled.

SDRAM CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends
on the DRAM timing. The settings are: 2T and 2.5T.
Note: Change these settings only if you are familiar with the chipset.
SDRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
This field let’s you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when
DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed.
Fast
gives faster performance; and
Slow
gives
more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the
system. The settings are: 2T, 3T and 4T.
SDRAM RAS# Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before
DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain date.
Fast
gives faster performance; and
Slow
gives more stable performance. This field applies only
when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. The settings are: 2T, 3T and 4T.
