User’s Manual

5-8

- The 82443BX can assert SERR# upon detecting an invalid AGP master access outside of

AGP aperture and outside of main DRAM range (i.e., in the 640k - 1M range or above

TOM).

- The 82443BX can assert SERR# upon detecting an invalid AGP master access outside of

AGP aperture.

- The 82443BX asserts SERR# for one clock when it detects a target abort during 82443BX

initiated AGP cycle.

PERR#

This option signals data parity errors of the PCI bus. The settings are

Enabled

or

Disabled

. Set to

Enabled

to enable the PERR# signal.

WSC# Handshake (Write Snoop Complete)

This signal is asserted active to indicate that all the snoop activity on the

CPU bus on the behalf of the last PCI-DRAM write transaction is complete

and that it is safe to send the APIC interrupt message. The settings for

this option are

Enabled

or

Disabled

. Set to

Enabled

to enable handshaking

for the WSC# signal.

USWC Write Post

The settings for this option are

Enabled

or

Disabled

. This option sets the

status of USWC (Uncacheable, Speculative, Write-Combining) posted writes

and is used to combine several partial writes to the frame buffer into a

single write in order to reduce the data bus traffic. Set to

Enabled

to

enable USWC posted writes to I/O. Set to

Disabled

to disable USWC

posted writes to I/O.

BX/GX Master Latency Timer (CLKs)

This option specifies the master latency timings (in PCI clocks) for devices

in the computer. It defines the number of PCI clocks a PCI master can

own on the bus after PCI central arbiter removes the grant signal. The

settings are

Disabled

,

32

,

64

,

96

,

128

,

160

,

192

or

224

.

Multi-Trans Timer (Clks)

This option specifies the multi-trans latency timings (in PCI clocks) for

devices in the computer. It reduces overhead switching between different

masters. The settings are

Disabled

,

32

,

64

,

96

,

128

,

160

,

192

or

224

PCI1 to PCI0 Access

PCI1 refers to AGP in BX and LX chipsets. PCI0 is the normal PCI bus.

Note: Normally AGP master should not access to a PCI target

. The

settings for this option are

Enabled

or

Disabled

. Set to

Enabled

to enable

access between two different PCI buses (PCI1 and PCI0).
