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 overcl ock, overvoltage, and hardware moni tor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide
these features to separate panel s. If one chipset is not on board, the
correlative butto n i n Main panel wil l be disabled, but will not in terfer e
other panels’ functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder™]

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 P CI
based systems, where the VGA controller is on the P CI 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 thi s case, t h e P CI VG A c on troll e r sh ou ld n ot resp on d to th e W rit e , i t
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
