BIOS Setup
Advanced Chipset Features
This section gives you functions to configure the system based on the specific
features of the chipset. The chipset manages bus speeds and access to system
memory resources.
These items should not be altered unless necessary. The
default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating con-
ditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes
would be if you discovered some incompatibility or that data was being lost while
using your system.
DRAM Timing Selectable
This field is used to select the timing of the DRAM.
By SPD
The EEPROM on a DIMM has SPD (Serial Presence Detect) data structure that
stores information about the module such as the memory type, memory size,
memory speed, etc. When this option is selected, the system will run accord-
ing to the information in the EEPROM. This option is the default setting be-
cause it provides the most stable condition for the system. The “CAS Latency
Time” to “System Memory Frequency” fields will show the default settings by
SPD.
Manual
If you want better performance for your system other than the one “by SPD”,
select “Manual” then select the best option in the “CAS Latency Time” to
“System Memory Frequency” fields.
