Managing The PC BIOS
If you select Manual you will need to enter the values for those fields. You should not change the values of those fields from the factory setting unless you have installed new memory that has a different performance rating than the original DRAMs.
4SDRAM CAS Latency
Before SDRAM can execute a read command that it receives, there is a de- lay time, which is measured in clock cycles (CLK). Some memory modules are unable to deal with short delay times. We recommend that you set this delay time between 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 CLK’s (the default is 3). If your sys- tem becomes unstable we recommend that you increase the delay time.

4AGP Aperture Size
This field selects the size of the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The default is 128MB. You may increase this memory when you need to have faster access for 3D graphics applications (e.g. games).
4AGP Driving Control
The recommended setting for this field is the default “Auto”. If you have an unstable AGP card you may use this field to choose the appropriate set- tings. If you do need to tune the timing, please consult your AGP Card manual or Vendor.
4AGP Driving Value
This item allows you to adjust the AGP driving force.
4AGP Master 1 WS Write
When Enabled, writes to the AGP are executed with
4AGP Master 1 WS Read
When Enabled, reads to the AGP are executed with
