WarpSpeeder

Introduction

[ W arpSpeeder™ ], a new powerf ul control utility, f eatures three us er-f riendly functions
including Ov erclock Manager, Ov ervoltage Manager, and H ardware Monit or.

With the Over clock Manage r, users can easil y adjust the frequency the y prefer or they can
get t he best CPU perf ormanc e wit h jus t one click . The Ov ervoltage Manager, on the other

hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware
Monitor smartly indic ates the t emperatures, volt age and CPU fan speed as well as the

chips et inform at ion. Also, in t he About panel, you c an get det ail des c ript ions about BI OS
model and chipsets. In addition, t he frequency status of CPU, memory, AGP and PC I

along with t he C PU s peed are synchronically shown on our m ain panel.

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 commun icating 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 settin gs.

PNP OS Installed

When set to “Yes”, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting (VG A, IDE,
SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initia lized by the P nP operating systems, like

), this option must set to “ No”.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which
resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a
node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The

option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“D isab led” mode.

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources

non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI
Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.

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.

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”.

PCI / VG A Pa lette Sn oop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic contro llers which 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 comin g from the VGA co ntro l ler is draw n 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 th e VGA contro ller. T o 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, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA
graphic controller is on an IS A bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the

In this case, the PCI VGA controller shou ld not respond to the Write, it should only sno op
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.
