Enabling SurroundView in the BIOS enables the integrated graphics. which in turn makes available up to two additional graphics outputs.

Auto = Ganged mode Always = Unganged mode 3 Move Enter:Select +/-/:Value F10:Save ESC:Exit F1:General Help F9:Optimized Defaults ► DCT Unganged Mode DCT stands for DRAM Controller. Ganged refers to the use of both DRAM controllers within a memory controller acting in concert to access memory. For a description of ganged (128-bit DRAM data width) and unganged (64bit DRAM data width) DRAM modes : Ganged channels (DDR3) : ■ DCT channels A and B can be ganged as a single logical 128-bit DIMM. ■ Offers highest DDR3 bandwidth. ■ Requires both DIMMs in a logical pair to have identical size and timing parameters, both DCTs programmed identically. Unganged channels ■ DCT channels A and B operate as two completely independent 64-bit channels (both channels operate at the same frequency). ■ Reduce DRAM page conflicts - more concurrent open dram pages. ■ Better bus efficiency. Burst lengths supported When both DCTs are enabled in unganged mode, BIOS must initialize the frequency of each DCT in order. 33
