Configuring Memory Shadow

You use the Memory Shadow option to enable or disable

shadowing of your system and video memory as well as

specific blocks of ROM.

Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM. The options

on this screen allow your system to copy the contents of its

system and/or video ROM into RAM. When you use

shadowing, your system can perform certain operations faster.

This provides a significant increase in performance.

Note

For the best system performance, always set the System

shadow

and the Video shadow optionsto Enabled.

If you enable shadowing for specific regions, the ROM located

in this region is copied to the shadow area.

Configuring Chipset Registers

You use the Advanced Chipset Control option to change

the values in the chipset registers and optimize your system’s

performance. Setting these values correctly will increase your

system performance; however, setting these values incorrectly

may cause your system to malfunction or shut down. Be sure to

set the Auto Configuration option to Enabled to let the

system automatically configure these options to avoid

problems.
