3.12 – North Bridge  Configuration 

Options related to the north bridge chipset settings can be altered through the following.

 

 

Back2Back WriteRead 

Turnaround 

This setting allows you to adjust the speed at which WriteRead 
function occurs. Leave on defaults for best results. 

Back2Back ReadWrite 

Turna round 

This setting allows you to adjust the speed at which ReadWrite 
function occurs. Leave on default for best results. 

Back2Back Read Turnaround 

This setting allows you to adjust the speed of Read turnaround. 

Read Delay (tRD) 

This setting changes the read delay time. 

Activate2Precharge Delay 

(tRAS) 

This setting changes the memory precharge delay. 

CAS# Latency (tCL) 

This setting changes the CAS memory latency. 

Write RAS# to CAS# Delay 

(tRCD) 

This setting changes the write memory delay timing. 

Read RAS# to CAS# Delay 

(tRCD) 

This setting changes the read memory delay timing. 

DRAM RAS# Precharge (tRP) 

This setting changes memory precharge delay timing. 

 

HyperThreading Enable 

This setting allows you to take advantage of HyperThreading 
enabled Xeon processors. Enabling HyperThreading allows a 
compatible Xeon processor to process applications that are 
written for a multi-processor system even if you are using only 
one Xeon processor. 

 
With HyperThreading, one Xeon processor that supports HyperThreading is capable of processing 
data as though there were two Xeon processors. Depending on what operating system is being 
used, it may recognize two Xeon processors as four processors when HyperThreading is enabled 
because of the multi-processor characteristics of HyperThreading technology. If an operating 
system is used that is only dual processor capable, it will display 2 processors when using two 
Xeon processors regardless of whether or not HyperThreading is enabled. 
 

3.13 – ICH3 Chipset Configuration 

 

Please leave all options in this section at their default setting because they are crucial to 
the stability of the system. 
 
3.14 – Intel PCI-64 Hub 2 Chipset Configuration 

Options related to the Intel PCI-64 hub and its settings can be altered through the following.

 

 

I/O Port Decode 

This option allows you to adjust the decode size of the I/O ports. 

RAS Sticky Error Handling 

This option allows you to define how RAS errors are handled and 
whether they are corrected or left as is. 

IOAPIC Support in MP 

Table 

This option allows you to adjust settings for IOAPIC functions that 
relate to multi-processor handling. 

VGA Decode 

Please leave this option at its default setting. 

 

3.15 – ACPI 

Options related to power management settings can be altered through the following options. 

 

ACPI Aware O/S 

Yes  

No

 

Defines whether the OS can manage IRQs, DMAs, and 
other system settings on its own. 

ACPI Advanced 

All settings discussed in following sections
