Advanced Chipset Features
DRAM Timing Selectable
This option permits you to either manually select memory tim-
ings, or allow the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) to determine
the said timings automatically. The choices are:
Manual / By SPD
Note:
On all memory timing settings, a
lower number is more aggressive.
CAS Latency Time
This setting controls the time delay (in clock cycles - CLKs)
that passes before the DRAM starts to carry out a read com-
mand after receiving it. This also determines the number of
CLKs for the completion of the first part of a burst transfer. In
other words, the lower the latency, the faster the transaction.
The possible values are:
2 / 2.5 / 3
