allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumu-
late its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM
may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is
installed in the system. Available settings: 3 Clocks and 2 Clocks.
RAS# to CAS# Delay
This field allows you to set the number of cycles for a timing delay between
the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from
or refreshed. Fast speed offers faster performance while slow speed offers
more stable performance. Settings: 3 Clocks and 2 Clocks.
Precharge Delay
The field specifies the idle cycles before precharging an idle bank. Settings:
7 Clocks, 6 Clocks and 5 Clocks.
DRAM Integrity Mode
Select ECC (Error-Correcting Code) or Non-ECC according to the type of
installed DRAM.
AGP Aperture Size
The field selects the size of the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture.
Aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for
graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are
forwarded to the AGP without any translation. Settings: 4MB, 8MB, 16MB,
32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB.
Delayed Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delayed
transactions cycles so that transactions to and from the ISA bus are buff-
ered and PCI bus can perform other transactions while the ISA transaction is
underway. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification
version 2.1. Settings: Enabled and Disabled.
