DRAM Timing Selectable

This option permits you to either manually select memory tim- ings, or allow the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) to determine the said timings automatically. The choices are:

Manual / By SPD

Note: On all memory timing settings, a lower number is more aggressive.

CAS Latency Time

This setting controls the time delay (in clock cycles - CLKs) that passes before the DRAM starts to carry out a read com- mand after receiving it. This also determines the number of CLKs for the completion of the first part of a burst transfer. In other words, the lower the latency, the faster the transaction. The possible values are:

2 / 2.5 / 3
