(Chipset Features)
Read-Around-Write (Enabled)
The default setting of Enabled will increase the execution efficiency of the proces-
sor. It allows the processor to execute read commands out of order if there is no
dependence between these read and other write commands.

16-bit I/O Recovery Time (1 BUSCLK)

Video Memory Cache Mode (UC)
USWC (uncacheable, speculative write combining) is a new cache technology for
the video memory of the processor. It can greatly improve the display speed by
caching the display data. You must leave this on the default setting of UC
(uncacheable) if your display card cannot support this feature; otherwise, your sys-
tem may not boot.

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

[DRAM and ECC]
If all your DRAM modules have parity chips (e.g. 8 chips + 4 parity chips), they are
considered 36bits. This motherboard sums the memory per bank and therefore two
modules will give 72bits and the following will be displayed:

The default of Disabled for Data Integrity (PARITY) will not show memory errors
on your monitor. When using parity DRAM modules, you can select ECC (Error
Checking and Correcting) to correct 1 bit memory errors that may occur in the
memory, otherwise Parity is the default. (See section III for more information on
DRAM memory modules.)

Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
When enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to the onboard
floppy disk drive connector instead of a separate controller card. If you want to use a
different controller card to connect the floppy disk drives, set this field to Disabled.
