5: BIOS Settings

Snoop Filter

Select Enabled to eliminate snoop traffic to the graphics port to improve system performance 
when running graphics intensive applications. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Crystal Beach Features

This feature was designed to implement Intel’s I/O AT (Acceleration Technology) to accelerate 
the performance of TCP offload engine (TOE) devices.

Note:  

A TOE device is a specialized, dedicated processor that is installed on an add-on card or a 

network card to handle some or all packet processing of the add-on card. For this motherboard, 
the TOE device is built inside the ESB2 southbridge chip. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Route Port 80h Cycles to

This feature allows the user to decide on which bus to send debug information. The options are 
Disabled, PCI, and LPC.

Clock Spectrum Feature

If Enabled, the BIOS will monitor the level of Electromagnetic Interference caused by the 
components and will attempt to decrease the interference whenever needed. The options are 
Enabled and Disabled.

High Precision Event Timer

This is a replacement timer for the 8254 Programmable Interval Timer and the Real-time clock’s 
(RTC) periodic interrupt function. The high-precision event timer (HPET) can produce periodic 
interrupts at much higher resolutions than the RTC interrupt function. The HPET is used to 
synchronize multimedia streams and provide smooth playback which reduces the need to use other 
timestamp calculations such as the Intel x86 RDTSC instruction.

USB Function

Select Enabled to enable the function of USB devices specified. The settings are Enabled and 
Disabled.
