Introduction of the BIOS 3-15
User’s Manual
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB:
When the system memory is bigger than 64MB, the communication method between the
BIOS and the operating system will differ from one operating system to another. If you use
OS/2, select OS2; if you choose another operating system, select Non-OS2.
Report No FDD For WIN 95:
When using Windows 95 without floppy drive, please set this item to Yes.
Delay IDE Initial (Sec):
This item is used to support some old model or special type of hard disks or CD-ROMs,
since the BIOS may not detect those kinds of devices during system booting.
Processor Number Feature:
This feature can let the program read the data inside your processor. This feature only works
with Intel
®
Pentium
®
III processors. When you install a Pentium
®
III processor into your
motherboard, and when your system boots-up then this item will show up in BIOS.
Two items will be available: Enabled and Disabled. When you choose Enabled, the specific
program can read your processor's serial number. When you choose Disabled it will not
allow the program to read your processor's serial number. The default setting is Disabled.
Video BIOS Shadow:
This option is used to define whether the BIOS on the video card uses the shadow feature or
not. You should set this option to Enabled, otherwise the display performance of the system
will greatly decrease.
Shadowing address ranges:
This option allows you to decide if the ROM BIOS area of an interface card at a specific
address uses the shadow feature or not. If you have no interface card using this memory
block, don’t enable this option.
You have six address ranges you can select:
C8000-CBFFF Shadow, CC000-CFFFF Shadow, D0000-D3FFF Shadow, D4000-D7FFF
Shadow, D8000-DBFFF Shadow, DC000-DFFFF Shadow.
