Memory Timing Parameters Select which node’s timing parameters to display 71 Feature Option Description NorthBridge Chipset Configuration It shows the clock frequency of the installed SDRAM. Memory CLK Read only CAS Latency (Tcl) Read only This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance. This setting allows you to select the number of clock cycles allotted for the RAS pulse width, according to DRAM specifications. The less the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance. This item controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its chage before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. [. . . ] This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. It is fast enough to support video transfer, and is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices. VGA (Video Graphics Array): the PC video display standard V-SYNC: controls the vertical scanning properties of the monitor. ZCR (Zero Channel RAID): PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins.
