1.6 DDR SDRAM Installation
This motherboard supports a maximized 2GB DDR 266/
200 SDRAM. It provides two184-pin DDR sockets supporting 64MB to 1GB DDR memory module.
DDR SDRAM Installation Procedures:
1. The DDR socket has a “Plastic Safety Tab” and the DDR memory
module has an asymmetrical notch”, so the DDR memory
module can only fit into the slot in one way.
2. Push the tabs sideways. Insert the DDR memory modules into
the socket at a 90-degree angle and then push down the module vertically to fit it into place.
3.The plastic tabs should click into the edge of the memory
module to hold the DDR memory modules in place.

1.7.17 CPU Clock Frequency Selector: Jp2
Overclocking is to operate a CPU with a frequency which
surpass the default CPU clock. Jp2 jumper is designed to offer a
chance for CPU overclocking.when starting system.
If a 100MHz CPU is used on board, setting Jp2 to 1-2 closed or
2-3 closed will not offer a chance of overclocking from 100MHz
to 133MHz. Only if Jp2 is set at all pins open, there will be a
chance of starting the system with 133MHz.
NOTE:
Intel usually provides CPUs with locked CPU frequency so as to
forbid CPU overclock. We therefore don’t recommend users to do
CPU overclocking on Intel CPU because you may risk CPU damage.

2. BIOS Setup
2.1 BIOS Support
This chapter discusses the Award BIOS Setup program
built in the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows the user
to modify the basic system configuration. The modification
is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it can retain the
setup information after the power is turned off. The Award
BIOS installed in your computer system ROM (Read Only
Memory)is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS.
The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports. This
chapter is intended for guiding you through the process of
configuring your system BIOS.
Plug and Play Support
This AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A
specification. ESCD(Extended System Configuration Data)
write is also supported.
EPA Green PC Support
This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green
PC specification.
PCI Bus Support
This AWARD BIOS also supports Version 2.1 of the Intel
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)local bus
specification.

Chapter 2 4845GVM(V3.1) BIOS Setup
APM Support
This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the
Advanced Power Management(APM) specification.Power
management features are implemented via the System
Management Interrupt(SMI). Sleep and Suspend power
management modes are supported. Power to the hard disk
drives and video monitors can be managed by this AWARD
BIOS.
DRAM Support
SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) are supported.
CPU Support
This AWARD BIOS supports the Intel P4 Processor.
Setup Menu
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items of the
Main BIOS Setup Menu, press <Enter>to select, use the
<PgUp>and <PgDn>keys to change entries, press<F1>for
help and press <Esc> to quit The following table provides
more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program by
using the keyboard.
Note:
(BIOS version 1.0 is for reference only. If there is a
change in BIOS version, please use the actual
version on the BIOS.)

speeds and access to system memory resources, such as
DRAM and external cache. It also coordinates communications of the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should
never be altered. The default settings are set up to provide
the best operating conditions for your system. The time you
might need to make any changes would be if you discover
that data is lost while using your system.

This section describes configuration of the PCI bus
system. PCI or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system
which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the
speed of the CPU itself when communicating with the components on board. This section covers some very technical
items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature so the system needs
to record which resource is assigned and proceeds to get rid of
resource conflict. Every peripheral device has a node, which is
called ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data. This node
records which resources are assigned to it. If Disabled (Default)
is chosen, the system ESCD will update only when the new
configuration varies from the last one. If Enabled is chosen, the
system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically
reset to the “Disabled” mode.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto” (default), the system BIOS will detect the
system resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and
DMA channel for each peripheral. By choosing “Manual”, the
user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure
that no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflict exists.
IRQ Resources :
Press Enter to configure the following Submenus

IRQ Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system
interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using the
interrupt.
PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which
are not VGA compatible take the output from a VGA controller
and map it to their display as a way to provideboot information
and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller
is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to
generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to
know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this,
the non-VGA graphic controller watches for the write access to
the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based
systems, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the
Write, it should only snoop the data and permit the access to be
forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphi controller
can then snoop the data on the ISA bus.Unless you have the
above situation, you should disable this option.
The choices: Disabled (default); Enabled
