- Bank 

Interleaving: 

 

Depending on your SDRAM module structure, the 4-Way setting can offer the best performance. 
If you choose the wrong setting, the computer system will not run in a stable manner. For 
detailed information on your SDRAM module, please ask your SDRAM module manufacturer. 

- Burst 

Length 

DDR SDRAM modules provide a Burst mode that means an auto precharge function for 
programmable READ or WRITE burst lengths of 2, 4 or 8 locations. 

This means that if we set burst length to 8, the address bus will access 8 bytes each cycle to 
precharge, etc. 

MTRR mapping mode 

The item selects the MTRR mapping mode. The MTRR (Memory-Type and Range Registers) 
controls the access and cacheability of memory regions in the processor. 

32 bit Dram Memory Hole: 

This item selects the method to remap the 32 bit Dram memory hole. Leave this item to its 
default “

Auto

” Setting. 

 

Back to Advanced Chipset Features Setup Menu: 

SSE/SSE2 Instructions: 

This item allows you to Enable or Disable the SSE/SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions) 
instruction set. The default setting is Enabled. 

System BIOS Cacheable: 

Two options are available: Disabled or Enabled. When you select 

Enabled

, you get faster 

system BIOS executing speed via the L2 cache.
