Chip Configuration
SDRAM CAS Latency
This controls the latency between the SDRAM read command and the time
that the data actually becomes available. NOTE: This field will only be dis-
played when SDRAM Configuration is set to [User Define].
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
This controls the idle clocks after issuing a precharge command to the
SDRAM. NOTE: This field will only be displayed when SDRAM Con-
figuration is set to [User Define].
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay
This controls the latency between the SDRAM active command and the
read/write command. NOTE: This field will only be displayed when
SDRAM Configuration is set to [User Define].
Delayed Transaction [Enabled]
Enabled, this frees the PCI Bus when the CPU is accessing 8-bit ISA cards
that normally consume about 50-60 PCI Clocks without PCI delayed trans-
action. Select [Disabled] for ISA cards that are not PCI 2.1 compliant. Con-
figuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
PCI to DRAM Prefetch [Enabled]
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Byte Merge [Disabled]
To optimize the data transfer on PCI, this merges a sequence of individual
memory writes (bytes or words) into a single 32-bit block of data. However,
byte merging may only be done when the bytes within a data phase are in a
prefetchable address range. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
DRAM Read Latch Delay [0.5 ns]
Configuration options: [0.0 ns] [0.5 ns] [1.0 ns] [2.0 ns]
DRAM Interleave Setting [Auto]
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled]
Graphics Aperture Size [64MB]
This feature allows you to select the size of mapped memory for AGP graphic
data. Configuration options: [4MB] [8MB] [16MB] [32MB] [64MB]
[128MB] [256MB]
Video Memory Cache Mode [UC]
USWC (uncacheable, speculative write combining) is a new cache technol-
ogy for the video memory of the processor. It can greatly improve the dis-
play speed by caching the display data. You must set this to UC (uncacheable)
if your display card cannot support this feature; otherwise your system may
not boot. Configuration options: [UC] [USWC]
