Configuring shadow memory

You can enable video BIOS shadowing or configure shadowing

for specific option ROM memory blocks.

Note

For the best system performance, always leave the

System

and

options set to

(the default setting).

Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM. The options
on this screen allow your system to copy the contents of its

video ROM and any optional ROMs into RAM. When you use

shadowing, your system can perform certain operations faster,

providing a significant increase in performance.

Note

Some option ROMs cannot be shadowed; see the

documentation that came with your optional equipment for
information on shadowing the option’s BIOS ROM.

Configuring the advanced chipset

You can change values in the chipset register to optimize

performance. However, to avoid possible configuration
problems, it is a good idea to leave these options at their

default settings.
