Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM. The options on this screen allow your system to copy the contents of its system and/ or video ROM into RAM. When you use shadowing, your system can perform certain operations faster, providing a significant increase in performance.

Note

For the best system performance, always set the System shadow and the Video shadow options to Enabled.

If you enable shadowing for specific blocks, the ROM located in these blocks is copied to the shadow area.

Configuring Chipset Registers

The system can set your Advanced Chipset Control options or you can manually change the values in the chipset registers. Setting these values correctly increases your system performance; however, setting them incorrectly may cause your system to malfunction or shut down. Be sure to set the Auto Configuration option to Enabled to let the system automatically configure these options to avoid problems.
