Configuring Memory Shadow You use the Memory Shadow option to enable or disable shadowing of your system and video memory as well as specific blocks of ROM. Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM. The options on this screen allow your system to copy the contents of its system and/or video ROM into RAM. When you use shadowing, your system can perform certain operations faster. This provides a significant increase in performance. Note For the best system performance, always set the System shadow and the Video shadow optionsto Enabled. If you enable shadowing for specific regions, the ROM located in this region is copied to the shadow area. Configuring Chipset Registers You use the Advanced Chipset Control option to change the values in the chipset registers and optimize your system's performance. Setting these values correctly will increase your system performance; however, setting these values incorrectly may cause your system to malfunction or shut down. Be sure to set the Auto Configuration option to Enabled to let the system automatically configure these options to avoid problems. Running the SETUP Program 2-7
