Memory Remap Feature

Use this item to enable or disable memory remap feature. Configuration options: [Enabled] and [Disabled]. The default value is [Disabled].

DRAM Frequency

If [Auto] is selected, the motherboard will detect the memory module(s) inserted and assigns appropriate frequency automatically. You may select [333MHz (DDR2 667)], [400MHz (DDR2 800)] or [533MHz (DDR2 1066)] for DDR2 memory modules, or select [400MHz (DDR3 800)], [533MHz (DDR3 1066)] or [667MHz (DDR3 1333)] for DDR3 memory modules. The configura- tion options depend on the CPU and memory module you adopt on this motherboard. Please refer to page 8 for the CPU FSB frequency and its corre- sponding memory support frequency.

Flexibility Option

The default value of this option is [Disabled]. It will allow better tolerance for memory compatibility when it is set to [Enabled].

DRAM CAS# Latency

Use this item to adjust the means of memory accessing. Configuration options for DDR2 memory modules are [3], [4], [5], [6] and [Auto]. Configuration options for DDR3 memory modules are are [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] and [Auto].

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

This controls the latency between the DRAM active command and the read / write command. Configuration options: [Auto], [3 DRAM Clocks], [4 DRAM Clocks], [5 DRAM Clocks] and [6 DRAM Clocks].

DRAM RAS# Precharge

This controls the idle clocks after a precharge command is issued. Configuration options: [Auto], [3 DRAM Clocks], [4 DRAM Clocks], [5 DRAM Clocks] and [6 DRAM Clocks].
