SDRAM Capability
This field displays the capability of the memory modules that you are us-
ing—either PC100 or PC133.
SDRAM Operating Mode
This field displays the current SDRAM operating mode (PC100 or PC133)
according to the SDRAM frequency you configure in the Advanced menu.
SDRAM Timing [By SPD]
This sets the optimal timings for items 4-7, depending on the memory mod-
ules that you are using. The default setting [By SPD] configures items 4-7
by reading the contents in the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) device. The
EEPROM on the memory module stores critical parameter information about
the module, such as memory type, size, speed, voltage interface, and mod-
ule banks. Configuration options: [User Define] [By SPD]
NOTE: The following 3 fields will only be adjustable when SDRAM Con-
figuration is set to [User Define].
SDRAM CAS Latency
This controls the latency between the SDRAM read command and the
time that the data actually becomes available.
