new capabilities and prompt the user to set PC boot parameters for guaranteed optimized

settings.

AM2+ CPU - Select [Disabled] to turn off SLI-Memory feature. Select [CPUOC 0%] to enable

using SLI-Memory SPD data to run your system. If overclock is needed, you

have to adjust memory or CPU clocks from other BIOS options to overclock your

system manually.

AM2 CPU - Select [Disabled] to turn off SLI-Memory feature. Select any [CPUOC] item will

enable SLI-Memory feature.

Choose [CPUOC 0%] to use SLI-Memory SPD data to run your system. In ad-

dition, you can further select from [CPUOC 1%] to [CPUOC MAX] to overclock

CPU and the memory speed will change accordingly.

► SPD Checksum Restart

The Serial Presence Detect (SPD) device is a small EEPROM chip, mounted on a DDR mem-

ory module. This item allows you to check if the memory fails when booting. Select [Ignore],

the system will not check memory module. Select [Exit], system will check, report error if there

is any, then stop booting.

► CKE Based Power Down Mode

This item allows you to enable or disable the CKE base power down mode.

► CKE Based Power Down

CKE power down mode selection.

► Memclock Tri-stating

Enables the DDR memory clocks to be tristated when alternate VID mode is enabled.

► Memory Hole Remapping

This item is used to enable/disable memory remapping around memory hole. PCI doesn't actu-
ally care much which addresses are used, but by convention the PC platform puts them at the
top of the 32-bit address space. For many years it wasn't possible or practical to put that much
RAM into a PC. But now it is, so it's up to the memory controller and host bridge to figure out
what to do. Many systems cause that high RAM to simply be ignored, resulting in the loss of
effective RAM. More complex systems will take the RAM that would occupy that 3.5-4GB
address space and re-map it into the 4.0-4.5 address space. The RAM doesn't care because
it's just an array of storage cells, it's up to the memory controller to associate addresses with
those storage cells. Of course, that only works if you're using a 64-bit (or 32-bit physical ad-
dress extension (PAE) enabled) OS that can deal with physical addresses larger than 32 bits.
Once this option is enabled, the BIOS can see 4096MB of memory.

► Auto Optimize Bottom IO

Auto optimize maximum DRAM size when kernel assigns PCI resources done.

► Bottom of [31:24] IO Space

Select bottom of [31:24] IO space manually when "Auto Optimize Bottom IO" option is disa-
bled.

► Bottom of UMA DRAM [31:24]

This is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) con-
cept. Normally, select the default value.

► DRAM Timing Selectable

This item is used to enable/disable provision of DRAM timing by SPD device. The Serial Presence

Detect (SPD) device is a small EEPROM chip, mounted on a DDR3 memory module. It contains

important information about the module’s speed, sizze, addressing mode and various other pa-
