SODIMM_COMP_BNK (SODIMM Component Banks - Banks 0 and 1). Selects the number of component banks per

 

module bank for SODIMM:

 

 

 

 

0: 2 Component banks

110: 256 MB

 

 

001: 8 MB

011: 32 MB

101: 128 MB

111: 512 MB

 

 

This size is the total of both banks 0 and 1. Also, banks 0 and 1 must be the same size.

001: 2 KB

011: 8 KB

111: SODIMM not installed

 

 

Both banks 0 and 1 must have the same page size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3:0

RSVD (Reserved). Write as 0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GX_BASE+840Ch-840Fh

31

RSVD (Reserved). Write as 0.

 

 

 

 

 

30:28

LTMODE (CAS Latency). CAS latency is the delay, in SDRAM clock cycles, between the registration of a read command

 

and the availability of the first piece of output data. This parameter significantly affects system performance. Optimal setting

 

should be used. If an SODIMM is used, BIOS can interrogate EEPROM across the ACCESS.bus interface to determine this

 

value:

 

 

 

 

 

000: Reserved

010: 2 CLK

100: 4 CLK

110: 6 CLK

 

 

001: Reserved

011: 3 CLK

101: 5 CLK

111: 7 CLK

 

 

This field will not take effect until SDRAMPRG (bit 0 of MC_MEM_CNTRL1) transitions from 0 to 1.

 

 

27:24

RC (RFSH to RFSH/ACT Command Period, tRC). Minimum number of SDRAM clock between RFSH and RFSH/ACT

 

commands:

 

 

 

 

 

0000: Reserved

0100: 5 CLK

1000: 9 CLK

1100: 13 CLK

 

 

0001: 2 CLK

0101: 6 CLK

1001: 10 CLK

1101: 14 CLK

 

 

0010: 3 CLK

0110: 7 CLK

1010: 11 CLK

1110: 15 CLK

 

 

0011: 4 CLK

0111: 8 CLK

1011: 12 CLK

1111: 16 CLK

 

 

 

23:20
