BIOS Setup
AGP Fast Write
This option enables or disables the AGP Fast Write feature. The Fast Write
technology allows the CPU to write directly to the graphics card without passing
anything through the system memory and improves the AGP 4X speed. Select
Enabled only when the installed AGP card supports this function. Setting options:
[Enabled], [Disabled].
AGP Master 1 W/S Read
When [Enabled] is selected, one wait state is inserted in the AGP read cycle.
Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
AGP Master 1 W/S Write
When [Enabled] is selected, writeing to the AGP bus are executed with one wait
state inserted. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
AGP 3.0 Calibration cycle
This setting disables/enables the AGP auto calibration. Setting options: [Disabled],
[Enabled].
VGA Share Memory Size
The system shares memory to the onboard VGA card. This setting controls the
exact memory size shared to the VGA card. Setting options: [Disabled], [16M],
[32M], [64M].
DRAM Configuration
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:
Timing Mode
This field has the capacity to automatically detect all of the DRAM timing. If you set
this field to [Manual], the following fields will be selectable. Setting options:
[Auto], [Manual].
Memclock index value (Mhz)
When it is set to Manual in “Timing Mode”, user can place an artificial memory
clock on the system. Setting options: [100MHz], [133MHz], [166MHz], [200MHz].
CAS# Latency (Tcl)
When the Timing Mode is set to [Manual], the field is adjustable.This controls
the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles) before
SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. Setting options: [2.0], [2.5], [3.
0]. [2.0] increases the system performance the most while [3.0] provides the
most stable performance.
