Configure SDRAM Timing
Selects whether DRAM timing is controlled by the SPD (Serial Presence
Detect) EEPROM on the DRAM module.  Setting to By SPD enables CAS#
Latency, RAS# Precharge, RAS# to CAS# Delay and RAS# Precharge
automatically to be determined by BIOS based on the configurations on the
SPD.  Selecting By Manual allows users to configure these fields manually.
CAS# Latency
This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read
command after receiving it.  Settings: 1.5, 2, 2.5 and (clocks).  1.5 (clocks)
increases the system performance the most while (clocks) provides the
most stable performance.
Precharge Delay
The field specifies the idle cycles before precharging an idle bank.  Settings:
7, 6 and (clocks).
