Suspend To RAM Installation
Suspend to RAM Installat i on
A.1 Introduce STR function:
Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Wi ndows 98 ACPI sleep mode functi on. When recovering from
STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to r etrieve the last “state ” of
the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory
(RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system
state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.
A.2 STR function Installation
Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.
Step-By-Step Setup
Step 1:
To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.
Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.
Setup with Windows 98 CD:
A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes)
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).
“D:\setup”
in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.

@BIOS™ Introduction
Gigabyte announces
Windows BIOS live update utility
@ BIOS™
Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or
like many other people, you just know what
BIOS is, but always hesitate to update it?
Because you think updating newest BIOS is
unnecessary and actually you don’t know how
to update it.
Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite
a lot of time to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download
different BIOS from website and then switch the operating system to DOS mode.
Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS. The above process is not a
interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source code correctly in
your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.
Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right
to save your time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it
comes! Now Gigabyte announces @BIOS
™
--the first Windows BIOS live update utility.
This is a smart BIOS update software. It could help you to download the BIOS from
internet and update it. Not like the other BIOS update software, it’s a Windows utility.
With the help of “@BIOS
™
’, BIOS updating is no more than a click.
Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*,
™
@BIOS
help you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct
mainboard model and help you to choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the
BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site automatically. There are several different
choices; you could use “Internet Update” to download and update your BIOS directly.
Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose “Save Current
BIOS” to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS
™
update
your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to
maintain and manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte’s innovative product erects a
milestone in mainboard industries.
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It’s free! Now, if you buy a
Gigabyte’s motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But
please remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update
from your Gigabyte @BIOS™.

Windows overdrive utilit y
“Overdrive” might be one of the most
common issues in computer field. But have
many users ever tried it? The answer is
probably “no”. Because “overdrive” is thought to
be very difficult and includes a lot of technical
know-how, sometimes “overdrive” is even
considered as special skills found only in some
enthusiasts.
But as to the experts in “overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lot
of time and money to study, try and use many different hardware and software tools
to do “overdrive”. And even with these technologies, they still learn that it’s quite a
risk because the safety and stability of an “overdrive“ system is unknown.
Now everything is different because of a Windows overdrive utility
EasyTune
rule of “overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility suitable for both normal and power
users. Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode” to run “overdrive”
at their convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click
“Auto Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will
then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control
panel. If someone prefers to “overdrive” by oneself, there is also another choice.
Click “Advanced Mode” to enjoy “sport drive” class overclocking. In “Advanced
Mode”, one can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate
system performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it’s a Gigabyte’s
product*, EasyTune
Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTune
doesn’t require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting;
on the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at only one click. Therefore, this is a safer
way for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs
EasyTune
again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed
system speed been tested in EasyTune
“Load” it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune

Base Memory
The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional)
memory installed in the system.
The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K
memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more
memory installed on the motherboard.
Extended Memory
Other Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory
address map.
This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications.
DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free
for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM
