feature to Fast improves memory access performance above 1MB because the chipset is
much faster in switching Gate A20 than the keyboard controller. It is recommended that you
set it to Fast for faster memory accesses.
► Typematic Rate Setting
If this item is enabled, you can use the following two items to see the typematic rate and the
typematic delay settings for your keyboard.
► Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
This item is used to dene how many characters per second a hold-down key generated.
► Typematic Delay (Msec)
This item is used to dene how many delayed milliseconds before a hold-down key begins
generating repeat characters.
► Security Option
When it is set to “Setup”, a password is required to enter the CMOS Setup screen; When it
is set to “System”, a password is required not only to enter CMOS Setup, but also to start up
your PC.
► APIC Mode (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller)
This item is used to enable or disable APIC function.
APIC interrupt subsystems can have as many IRQs as are required in a specic machine.
APICs are benecial for the following reasons :
• APICs can contribute to resolving resource conicts in the PC platform.
• Windows operating systems have been designed with APICs in mind.
• APICs are necessary for enabling new features in the PCI specication.
► MPS Version Control For OS (Multi-Processor Specication)
This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it species the version of the
MPS that the motherboard will use. The MPS is a specication by which PC manufacturers
design and build Intel architecture systems with two or more processors. MPS 1.1 was the
original specication. MPS version 1.4 adds extended conguration tables for improved
support of multiple PCI bus congurations and greater expandability in the future. In addition,
MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge.
If your operating system comes with support for MPS 1.4, you should keep the setting as
the default 1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the
secondary PCI bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge.
You should only leave it as 1.1 only if you are running an older operating system that only
supports MPS 1.1.
► OS Select For DRAM>64MB
This item is only required if you have installed more that 64MB of memory and you are running
the OS/2 operating system.
► Report No FDD For WIN 95
If you are using the Windows 95 and running a system with no oppy drive, select “Yes” for
this item to ensure compatibility with Windows 95 logo certication.
► Full Screen Logo Show
This item allows you to enable or disable full screen logo show.
► Small Logo(EPA) Show
This item allows you to enable or disable the EPA logo.
