frequency automatically. [WarpSpeeder™] utility will execute a
series of testing until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe
reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the
[WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

d. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™]

will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok,
then the current frequency will be saved into system registry. If
the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot,
the [WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

Note:

Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please make sure your display
card’s color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is
required for Direct3D rendering.

5. Hardware Monitor Panel

Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be
highlighted and the Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as
the following figure.

In this panel, you can get the real-time status information of your
system. The information will be refreshed every 1 second.

I945G-M7

6. About Panel

Click the “about” button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted
and the About Panel will slide out to up as the following figure.

In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints
of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get
the mainboard’s BIOS model and the Version number of
[WarpSpeeder™] utility.

Note:

Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide
these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the
correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere
other panels’ functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder™]
utility more robust.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring 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 uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Init Display First

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.

The Choices: PCI Slot (default), PCEx.

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “Auto (ESCD)” (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 there are no IRQ/DMA
and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.

IRQ Resources

This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type,
depending on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the
“Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to
configure the system interrupts. This is only configurable when
“Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.
IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers that are not VGA
compatible take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their
display as a way to provide boot 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 watch for
the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI
based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a
non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, 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 graphic controller can then snoop the data on
the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation, you should disable
this option.
Disabled (default) Disable the function.
Enabled Enable the function.

Maximum Payload Size

Set the maximum payload size for Transaction packets (TLP).
The Choice: 4096 (default.), 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048.
