options are: 5, 4, 3 and Auto.
DRAM RAS-to -CAS Delay
You may set the delay period between CAS and RAS signal for DRAM read & write or refreshing.
Shorter delay means quicker response, while longer delay means more stable performance. Options
are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Auto.
DRAM RAS Precharge
If number of cyc les is not sufficient enough to ensure that RAS saves its instructions before DRAM
refreshing, it may cause incomplete refreshing and the DRAM will fail to maintain its data. Faster
precharge means quicker response, while slower precharge means more stable performance. This
item is only valid when a SDRAM is installed.
