Award BIOS Setup
48
CAS Latency Time:
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing.
The choice: 1.5, 2, and 2.5.
Active To Precharge Delay:
Select the operating system that is active to precharge delay.
The choice: 5, 6, 7.
DRAM RAS# To CAS# Delay:
This field let’s you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe
signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives
faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field
applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The choice: 2, 3.
DRAM RAS# Precharge:
If an insufficient number of cycles are allowed for the RAS to accumulate its
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM
may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more
stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is
installed in the system.
The choice: 2, 3.
System BIOS Cacheable:
Selecting “Enabled” allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at
F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any
program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Video BIOS Cacheable:
Select “Enabled” allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better
system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a
system error may result.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
