Advanced Chipset Features
These items define critical timing parameters of the motherboard. You should leave the
items on this page at their default values unless you are very familiar with the technical
specifications of your system hardware. If you change the values incorrectly, you may
introduce fatal errors or recurring instability into your system.

RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) [Auto]
Min RAS# active time (Tras) [Auto]
Row precharge Time (Trp) [Auto]
Places an artificial
memory clock limit on the
system. Memory is
prevented from running
faster than this frequency
Max Memclock (Mhz) (Auto)
Users may use this item to manually set the Max Memclock to Auto/100/133/166 MHz.
1T/2T Memory Timing (Auto)
This item allows you to adjust the DRAM timing. Please note that if only support the K8
CG version and the following version. We recommend that you leave this item at the
default value.
CAS# latency (Tcl) (Auto)
This item determines the operation of DDR SDRAM memory CAS (column address strobe).
It is recommended that you leave this item at the default value. The 2T setting requires
faster memory that secifically supports this mode.
RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) (Atuo)
This item specifies the RAS# to CAS# delay to Rd/Wr command to the same bank.
