MS-7031 Micro ATX Mainboard
TRCD
When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This
setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address
strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clock cycles, the faster the
DRAM performance. Settings: [1], [2], [3], [4].
TRP
This item controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed
to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge
before DRAM refresh, refreshing may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain
data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
Setting options: [1], [2], [3], [4].
TRAS
This setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to a memory cell.
Setting options: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].
Dual Channel Interleave
Specify the major resources supported by the memory. Selecting [System Optimal]
will enhance the system performance, while selecting [Graphics Optimal] will let the
graphics have better performance. Setting options: [System Optimal], [Graphics
Optimal].
AGP Aperture Size
This setting controls just how much system RAM can be allocated to AGP for video
purposes. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated to
graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded
to the AGP without any translation. The option allows the selection of an aperture
size of [32MB], [64MB], [128MB], [256MB], [512MB], [1GB], [2GB], [None].
Onboard VGA Frame Buffer
Frame Buffer is the video memory that stores data for video display (frame). This field
is used to determine the memory size for Frame Buffer. Larger frame buffer size
increases video performance. Settings: [8MB], [16MB], [32MB], [64MB], [128MB].
Video Display Devices
Use the field to select the type of device you want to use as the display(s) of the
system. Setting options:
[Auto] Let the system decide automatically.
[CRT Only] Use CRT monitor only.
[CLD Only] Use CD/LCD device only.
[DFP Only] Use DFP-Digital Flat Panel only.
[TV Only] Use TV only.
[CRT Force, Other Auto] CRT is the primary video display device.
[TV Force, Other Auto] TV is the primary video display device.
