(white DIMMs).
Dual Channel Guidelines
Matc hed DI MM configurat ion in eac h channel
― Same Density (128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, et c.)
― Same DR AM technology (128M-bit, 256M-bit, or 512M-bit)
― Same DR AM bus width (x8 or x 16)
― Both either s ingle-s ided or dual-sided
Matc hed in both Channel A and Channel B mem ory channels
― Populat e sym met rical mem ory slots
Opt im al platform performance with Dual C hannel, D DR400, m atched DIMMs
― Fully loaded c onfigurations can be single or double sided D I MMs
― Lightly loaded con figura tions need to be double sided DIMMs
When not using DDR400, best performance obtained with
― Symmet rical DIMM populat ion and matched double-sided DIMMs
― Lightly loaded con figura tion

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.
Moreov er, to protect users' c om puter sy s tems if the s etting is not appropriat e when testing
and results in system f ail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the system
st ability by automat ically reboot in g the c om puter and then restart t o a speed that is either
the original sys t em speed or a s uit able one.
System Requirement
OS Support : Windows 98 SE, W indows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
Direc t X: DirectX 8.1 or abov e. (The W indows XP operating sys tem inc ludes D irectX 8. 1. If
you us e W indows XP, y ou do not need t o inst all D irectX 8. 1. )

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.
Figure 7. P nP/PCI Configurations
Reset Configuration Da ta
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
system nee ds to record and u pdate ES CD to the mem ory lo cations. These locat ions (4K)
are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s
ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled
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
controlled by function.
Le gacy is the term, which s ignifies that a resource is as signed to the ISA Bus an d prov ides
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.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.
24
Page 68
P4TSG Pro BIOS Setup
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”.
IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device
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
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
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.
Disabled(default) Disables the function.
Enabled Enables the function.
