3.5.4 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory is reserved for
ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below
16MB. The Choice: 15M-16M, Disabled.

3.5.5 RAS# Precharge Time
This controls the idle clocks after issuing a precharge command to
DRAM. Leave this on the default setting.

3.5.6 System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-
FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any pro-
gram writes to this memory area, a system error may occur. The Choices:
Enabled, Disabled.

3.5.8 Memory Hole At 15M-16M
Enabling this feature reserves 15 MB to 16 MB memory address space
for ISA expansion cards that specifically require this setting. This makes
memory from 15 MB and up unavailable to the system. Expansion cards
can only access memory up to 16 MB. The default setting is “Disabled.”

3.5.9 Delayed Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay
transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI spec-
ification version 2.1. The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

3.5.11 AGP Aperture Size (MB)
Select the size of Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture. The aper-
ture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics
memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are for-
warded to the AGP without any translation.
