BIOS Setup PCI Master 0 WS Write When Enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero-wait states. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. PCI Delay Transaction The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification. The Choices: Disabled, Enabled (default). VLink 8X Support The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled. Memory Hole When enabled, you can reserve an area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved , it cannot be cached. Refer to the user documentation of the peripheral you are installing for more information. The Choices: Disabled (default), 15M - 16M. System BIOS Cacheable Selecting the "Enabled" option allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh which can improve system performance. However, any programs writing to this area of memory will cause conflicts and result in system errors. The Choices: Enabled, Disabled (default). Video RAM Cacheable Enabling this option allows caching of the video RAM, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The Choices: Enabled, Disabled (default). Delay Prior to Thermal The Choices: 16Min (default), 4Min, 8Min, 32Min. - 14 -
