IRQ-nAssigned to

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt as one of the following types, depending on the type of device using the interrupt:

Legacy ISA: Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port 1).

PCI/ISA PnP: Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.

DMA-nAssigned to

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel as one of the following types, depending on the type of device using the interrupt:

Legacy ISA: Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a specific DMA channel

PCI/ISA PnP: Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.

CPU to PCI Write Buffer

When this field is Enabled, writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered, to compensate for the speed differences between the CPU and the PCI bus. When Disabled, the writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the write is complete before starting another write cycle.

PCI Dynamic Bursting

When Enabled, every write transaction goes to the write buffer. Burstable transactions then burst on the PCI bus; nonburstable transactions do not.

PCI Master 0 WS Write

When this field is Enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero wait states.

PCI Delay Transaction

The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transaction cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specifica- tion version 2.1.

PCI#2 Access #1 Retry

Select Enabled to rotate priority of PCI masters.
