Product warranty or service will not be extended if: (1) the motherboard is repaired, modified or altered, unless such repair, modification of alteration is authorized in writing by ASUS; or (2) the serial number of the product is defaced or missing. [. . . ] Typematic Delay (Msec) (250) This field sets the time interval for displaying the first and second characters. Four delay rate options are available: 250, 500, 750, and 1000. Chipset Features Setup This "Chipset Features Setup" option controls the configuration of the board's chipset. Control keys for this screen are the same as for the previous screen. NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading. Details of Chipset Features Setup Auto Configuration (60ns DRAM) The default setting of 60ns DRAM sets the optimal timings for items 2 through 9 for 60ns DRAM modules. If you are using 70ns DRAM modules, you must change this item to 70ns DRAM. DRAM Leadoff Time (Leave on default setting of 5T) ASUS SP97-XV User's Manual 41 IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Linear Mode SRAM Support (Leave on default setting of Disabled) For a slightly better performance on IBM/Cyrix CPUs, this function can be Enabled to switch from Toggle mode SRAM to Linear mode SRAM support. WARNING: Intel CPUs currently only support the Toggle mode so this function should be Disabled when using Intel CPUs. 16-bit ISA Wait State (Leave on default setting of 1 Wait) Timing for 16-bit ISA cards. 16-bit I/O Recovery Time (Leave on default setting of 5 BUSCLK) Timing for 16-bit ISA cards. 8-bit I/O Recovery Time (Leave on default setting of 8 BUSCLK) Timing for 8-bit ISA cards. ISA Bus Clock (Leave on default setting of PCICLK/4) Timing for the ISA bus clock. Video BIOS Cacheable (Leave on default setting of Enabled) This allows the video BIOS to be cached to allow faster execution. Memory Hole at Address (None) This feature reserves memory address space, 15M-16M, 14M-16M, or 12M-16M, to ISA expansion cards that specifically require this setting. This, however, makes the memory from the specified and up unavailable to the system because expansion cards can only access memory up to 16MB. Refresh Cycle Time (187. 2 us) This function sets the DRAM refresh rate. A slow refresh cycle time increases the bandwidth available for data transfers. NOTE: Some DRAMs are known to lose data without frequent refreshing so the default is set at 187. 2 us. Delayed Transaction (Enabled) The default setting of Enabled frees the PCI Bus during CPU accessing of 8-bit ISA cards, which normally consume about 50­60 PCI clocks without PCI delayed transaction. For PCI bus masters that cannot use the PCI Bus and some ISA cards that are not PCI 2. 1 compliant, set this to Disabled. Onboard VGA Memory Size (1MB) This function allows the user to allocate either 1MB, 2MB or 4MB memory for the onboard video controler. Larger memory allows more colors and a higher resoultion to be selected within each operating system. Onboard VGA Memory Clock (Leave on default setting of Fast) This function allows the selection of the video speed.
