Chapter 1
AGP Aperture Size (MB)
This setting controls just how much system RAM can be allocated to AGP for
video purposes. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range
dedicated to graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture
range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The option allows the
selection of an aperture size of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB.
OnChipUSB
Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller
and you have USB peripherals. Settings: Enabled, Disabled.
USB Keyboard Support
Set to Enabled if your need to use a USB keyboard in the operating system
that does not support or have any USB driver installed, such as DOS and SCO
Unix.
OnChip Sound
Auto allows the mainboard to detect whether an audio device is used. If the
device is detected, the onboard audio controller will be enabled; if not, it is
disabled. Disable the controller if you want to use other controller cards to
connect an audio device. Settings: Auto, Disabled.
OnChip Modem
Auto allows the mainboard to detect whether a modem is used. If the device is
detected, the onboard modem controller will be enabled; if not, it is disabled.
Disable the controller if you want to use other controller cards to connect a
modem. Settings: Auto, Disabled.
CPU to PCI Write Buffer
When Enabled, CPU can write up to four words of data into the PCI write
buffer before the CPU must wait for PCI bus cycles to finish. When
Disabled, the CPU must wait after each write cycle until the PCI bus signals
that it is ready to receive more data.
PCI Dynamic Bursting
When Enabled, every write transaction goes to the write buffer. Then
burstable transactions burst on the PCI bus and nonburstable transactions
do not.
