BIOS Setup SDRAM Burst Length This setting allows you to set the size of Burst-Length for DRAM. Bursting feature is a technique that DRAM itself predicts the address of the next memory location to be accessed after the first address is accessed. To use the feature, you need to define the burst length, which is the actual length of burst plus the starting address and allows internal address counter to properly generate the next memory location. The bigger the size, the faster the DRAM performance. SDRAM 1T Command This setting controls the SDRAM command rate. Selecting Enabled allows SDRAM signal controller to run at 1T (T=clock cycles) rate. Selecting Disabled makes SDRAM signal controller run at 2T rate. 1T is faster than 2T. Fast Command This item controls the internal timing of CPU. Selecting Ultra allows CPU to handle data/instructions at the fastest speed. Fast enables CPU to handle at a faster speed, while Normal let CPU handle them at the slowest rate. AGP Timing Control Press and the following sub-menu appears. AGP Mode The item sets an appropriate mode for the installed AGP card. Setting options: 1x, 2x, 4x, Auto. Select 4x only if your AGP card supports it. 3-13

BIOS Setup
SDRAM Burst Length
This setting allows you to set the size of Burst-Length for DRAM.
Burst-
ing feature is a technique that DRAM itself predicts the address of the
next memory location to be accessed after the first address is accessed.
To use the feature, you need to define the burst length, which is the ac-
tual length of burst plus the starting address and allows internal address
counter to properly generate the next memory location.
The bigger the
size, the faster the DRAM performance.
SDRAM 1T Command
This setting controls the SDRAM command rate. Selecting
Enabled
al-
lows SDRAM signal controller to run at 1T (T=clock cycles) rate. Se-
lecting
Disabled
makes SDRAM signal controller run at 2T rate.
1T
is
faster than
2T
.
Fast Command
This item controls the internal timing of CPU.
Selecting
Ultra
allows
CPU to handle data/instructions at the fastest speed.
Fast
enables CPU
to handle at a faster speed, while
Normal
let CPU handle them at the
slowest rate.
AGP Timing Control
Press <Enter> and the following sub-menu appears.
AGP Mode
The item sets an appropriate mode for the installed AGP card.

Select
4x
only if your AGP card supports it.
