Award BIOS Setup Utility
Video RAM Cacheable
When enabled, it allows the video RAM to be cacheable thus providing
better video performance. If your graphics card does not support this
function, leave this field in its default setting - Disabled.
8 Bit I/O Recovery Time and 16 Bit I/O Recovery Time
The recovery time is the length of time, measured in SYSCLK, which
the system will delay after the completion of an input/output request.
This delay takes place because the CPU is operating so much faster
than the input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for
the completion of the I/O. This item allows you to determine the
recovery time allowed for 8-bit I/O or 16-bit I/O.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
In order to improve system performance, certain space in memory can
be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the
memory space below 16MB. When enabled, the CPU assumes the 15-
16MB memory range is allocated to the hidden ISA address range
instead of the actual system DRAM. When disabled, the CPU assumes
the 15-16MB address range actually contains DRAM memory. If more
than 16MB of system memory is installed, this option must be
disabled to provide contiguous system memory.
PCI 2.1 Compliance
By default, this field is Disabled. However, if you encounter problems
with your PCI card, try setting this field to Enabled. It may be that your
card is PCI 2.1 compliant.
AGP Aperture Size (MB)
This field is relevant to the memory-mapped graphics data of the
AGP card installed in your system. Leave this in its default setting, which
is 64MB.
CPU Clock Frequency
If you are using a 66MHz FSB processor, the options are Default,
66MHz, 75MHz and 83MHz. If you are using a 100MHz FSB
processor, the options are Default, 83MHz, 100MHz, 103MHz,
105MHz, 110MHz, 112MHz, 115MHz, 120MHz and 124MHz.
