[. . . ] If you choose the wrong setting, the computer system will not run in a stable manner. For detailed information on your SDRAM module, please ask your SDRAM module manufacturer. Burst Length DDR SDRAM modules provide a Burst mode that means an auto precharge function for programmable READ or WRITE burst lengths of 2, 4 or 8 locations. This means that if we set burst length to 8, the address bus will access 8 bytes each cycle to precharge, etc. DRAM Drive Strength: Force 64-bit mode always: R/W Queue Bypass Counter: Bypass Max: Idle Cycle Limit(ILD-Lmt): Dynamic Idle Cycle Count: This item specifies the mode of DRAM Drive Strength. This item enables or disables the force 64-bit mode always function. This item specifies the R/W Queue Bypass Counter value. This item specifies the Bypass Max value. This item specifies the idle cycle limit. This item specifies the dynamic idle cycle count value. MTRR mapping mode The item selects the MTRR mapping mode. The MTRR (Memory-Type and Range Registers) controls the access and cacheability of memory regions in the processor. 32 bit Dram Memory Hole: This item selects the method to remap the 32 bit Dram memory hole. Leave this item to its default "Auto" Setting. # Back to Advanced Chipset Features Setup Menu: SSE/SSE2 Instructions: This item allows you to Enable or Disable the SSE/SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions) instruction set. System BIOS Cacheable: Two options are available: Disabled or Enabled. When you select Enabled, you get faster system BIOS executing speed via the L2 cache. User's Manual 3-12 Chapter 3 3-5.
