Some special ISA cards require this area of memory for them to work properly. Enabling this function reserves the memory area for the card's use. In some cases, it may also prevent the system from accessing memory above 15MB. If you enable this function, 1MB of RAM (the 15th MB) will be reserved and is therefore not available for the OS' use.

Setting to [Auto] allows the system to detect the PCI Express devices automatically. If detected, the PCI Express Port is enabled, or the PCI Express Port is disabled. ► PCI-E Compliancy Mode This item is used to set the PCI-E compliancy mode.

Advanced Chipset Features
► System BIOS Cacheable
Select “Enabled” to allow caching of the system BIOS which may improve performance. If any
other program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
► Memory Hole At 15M-16M
This item is used to set the memory hole. The available values are [Disabled] and [Enabled].
Some special ISA cards require this area of memory for them to work properly. Enabling this
function reserves the memory area for the card's use. In some cases, it may also prevent the
system from accessing memory above 15MB. If you enable this function, 1MB of RAM (the
15th MB) will be reserved and is therefore not available for the OS' use. Since ISA cards are a
thing of the past, you should always disable this feature.
► PCI Express Port 1/2/3/4/5/6
This option is used to enable or disable the PCI Express port. Setting to [Auto] allows the
system to detect the PCI Express devices automatically. If detected, the PCI Express Port is
enabled, or the PCI Express Port is disabled.
► PCI-E Compliancy Mode
This item is used to set the PCI-E compliancy mode. Setting options: [v1.0a]; [v1.0].
► PEG Force X1 (PCI Express Graphics)
This item is used to force PCI Express slot to work at
X1 specification instead of X16..
