2.4 Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of
the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system
memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates
communications between the conventional PCI bus. It must be stated that these
items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen
because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time
you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was
being lost which using your system.
