3.4 Chipset Features Setup
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 ISA bus and the 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 while using your system.

3.4.1 Bank 0/1 & 2/3 & 4/5 DRAM Timing (70ns)
This value in this field is set by the system board manufacturer, depending
on whether the board has paged DRAMs or EDO (extended data output)
DRAMs.
3.4.2 SDRAM Cycle Length (3)
This field sets the CAS latency timing.
