3.5 Advanced Chipset Features Setup

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of

the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory

resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications

between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items

should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they

provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider

making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your

system.

Choice

DRAM Timing Selectable

The value in this field depends on performance
parameters of the installed memory chips

factory setting unless you install new memory
that has a different performance rating than the
original DRAMs
