CHAPTER 3: WARPSPEEDER™
3.1 INTRO DUCTION
[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendly functions including Overclock M anager, Overvoltage
Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easi l y adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. T he
Overvol tage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor sm artly
indicates the temperatures, vol tage and CPU fan speed as well as the
chipset information. Al so, i n the About panel, you can get detail
descriptions about BIOS m odel and chipsets. In addition, the frequency
status of CPU, memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are
synchronically shown on our main panel.

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
correlat ive but ton in M ain panel will be disabled, but will not interfer e
other panels’ functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder™]
utility more robust.

Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying power, the motherboard uses the motherboard
battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from
the Power Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the
Power Supply will be used.
There are 3 options: “Former-Sts”, “On”, “Off”.
“Off” (default) Means always set CMOS to the “Off” status when AC power is lost.
“On” Means always set CMOS to the “On” status when AC power is lost
“Former-Sts” Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC power is lost.
For example: If set to “Former-Sts” and AC power is lost when system is live, then after
AC power is restored, the system will automatica lly power on. If AC power is lost when
system is not live, system will remain powered off.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configur ing 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 communicatin g 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. PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed
Wh en set to YES, BI OS will on ly initialize the P nP cards us ed for the bo ot sequence (VGA,
ID E , S C SI). Th e rest of the car ds w ill be init ialize d b y the PnP oper at ing syst em like
Windo w ™ 9 5. W he n set to N O , BIOS will init ia lize a ll th e P nP c a rds. For non -P nP
operatin g systems (DOS, Netware™), this option must set to NO.
The Choices: No (default), Yes.
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 dev ice has a
node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The
system needs to re cord an d upd ate ES CD to th e memory locations. Th ese locations (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
25
Page 51
P4VTG-M BIOS Setup
option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“D is ab led ” m ode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources
controlled by function.
Le gacy is the te rm, which s ignif ies th at a r esour ce is ass igned t o the ISA Bus and pr ovides
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.
Resources Co ntrolled B y
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
Choosin g “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 Palette Snoop
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
informat ion and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA cont ro ller is draw n from th e palett e
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graph ic controller
need s to know what is in the p alette of th e VGA controller. 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 ISA bus, the Write Access to the pa lette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
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

P4VTG-M BIOS Setup
In this case, the PCI VGA controller shou ld not respond to the Write, it shou ld on ly sn oop
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 disab le this option.
Disabled(default) Disables the function.
Enabled Enables the function.
