BIOS  Setup

 Advance DRAM Configuration

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:

 Configure DRAM Timing by  SPD

Selects whether DRAM timing is controlled by the SPD (Serial Presence Detect)
EEPROM on the DRAM module. Setting to [Auto By SPD] enables DRAM timings
and the following related items to be determined by BIOS based on the configu-
rations on  the  SPD. Selecting [Manual]  allows  users  to configure the DRAM
timings and the following related items manually.

 DRAM  CAS# Latency

This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles)
before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it.

 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This field allows you to set the number of cycles for a timing delay between the
CAS  and  RAS  strobe signals,  used when  DRAM  is  written to,  read  from or
refreshed.    Fast  speed  offers  faster  performance  while  slow  speed  offers
more stable  performance.

 DRAM RAS# Precharge

This  item controls  the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to  be
allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its
charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to
retain data.  This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the
system.

 DRAM RAS# Activate to Prechar

This setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to a memorycell.
Setting options: [8~15 DRAM Clocks].
