DRAM Configuration

► 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 DDR2 memory module. It contains

important information about the module's speed, size, addressing mode and various other

parameters, so that the motherboard memory controller (chipset) can better access the memory
device. Select [Manual], then you can configure the DRAM timing manually.
The following 5 settings are valid only when the DRAM Timing Selectable is set to [Manual].

► CAS Latency Time

This item controls 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.

► DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This item allows you to select a delay time (in clock cycles) between the CAS and RAS strobe

signals.

► DRAM RAS# Precharge

This item allows you to select the DRAM RAS precharge time (in clock cycles).

► Precharge Delay

This item allows you to set the precharge delay time (in clock cycles).

► System Memory Speed

This item is used to manually select a DRAM speed. The options are [Auto], [533MHz], [667MHz]
and [800MHz].
