Advanced Chipset Features

► Memory Configuration/DRAM Timing Configuration

Press to go to its submenu.

► CAS Latency

This item shows the CAS latency. The CAS Latency is the number of clock cycles that elapse
from the time the request for data is sent to the actual memory location until the data is
transmitted from the module.

► RAS/CAS Delay

This item displays a delay time (in clock cycles) between the CAS and RAS strobe signals.

► Row Precharge Time

This item shows the number of clock cycles taken between issuing of the precharge command
and the active command. The DRAM row precharge time is in unit of clock cycle.

► Min Active RAS

Displays the number of clock cycles taken between a bank active command and issuing of the
precharge command.

► RAS/RAS Delay

This item

displays a delay time (in clock cycles) between the RAS and RAS strobe signals.

► Row Cycle

This item shows the minimum timing interval between successive active commands to the
same bank. The row cycle time is in unit of clock cycle.

► Internal Graphics Mode

Enable/Disable the integrated UMA graphics controller.

► UMA Frame Buffer Size

Allocates system memory for use as video memory to ensure the most efficient use of
available resources for maximum 2D/3D graphics performance.
This is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA)
concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver
initialization. This fixed amount of memory will provide the user with a guaranteed graphics
memory at all times, and will no longer be available to the OS.
