Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled] 32Bit Data Transfer [Enabled] Enables or disables 32-bit data transfer. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled] 3. 3. 6 Storage Configuration The items in this menu allow you to set or change the configurations for the SATA devices installed in the system. You can also type the desired frequency using the numeric keypad. Refer to the table below for the correct Front Side Bus and CPU External Frequency settings. FSB/CPU External Frequency Synchronization Front Side Bus CPU External Frequency FSB 1600 400 MHz FSB 1333 333 MHz FSB 1066 266 MHz FSB 800 200 MHz PCIE Frequency [Auto] Allows you to set the PCI Express frequency. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the frequency or type the desired frequency using the numeric keypad. range from 100 to 180. FSB Strap to North Bridge [Auto] When set to [Auto], the FSB Strap will be adjusted automatically by FSB Frequency and DRAM Frequency. Congifuration options: [Auto] [200 MHz] [266 MHz] [333 MHz] [400 MHz] DRAM Frequency [Auto] Allows you to set the DDR2 operating frequency. Configuration options: [Auto] [DDR2-667 MHz] [DDR2-800 MHz] [DDR2-835MHz] [DDR2-887 MHz] [DDR2-1002MHz] [DDR2-1066MHz] [DDR2-1111MHz] MHz] ] [DDR2-1335MHz] The DRAM Frequency configuration options vary with the FSB Frequency item settings. Selecting a very high DRAM frequency may cause the system to become unstable!If this happens, revert to the default setting. 3-18 Chapter 3: BIOS setup DRAM Timing Control [Auto] · · Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual] The following sub-items apprear only when you set the DRAM Timing Control item to [Manual].
