Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) ofthe BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU' memory s address map.

In " Advanced Mode"one can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate system , performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it' a Gigabyte' product*, EasyTuneIII helps to s s perform the best of system. Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTuneIII doesn'require users to t change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do " overdrive"at only one click.
