Auto Configuration
Enabled
Disabled
When Enabled, the DRAM and cache related timing
are set to pre-defined value according to CPU type
and clock. Select Disable if you want to specify your
own DRAM timing.

DRAM Timing
60 ns
70 ns
There to sets of DRAM timing parameters can be
automatically set by BIOS, 60ns and 70ns.
Warning: The default memory timing setting
is 60ns to get the optimal performance.
Because the specification limitation of INTEL
TX chipset , 70ns SIMM can only be used
with CPU external clock 60MHz. To use 70ns
SIMM with 66MHz CPU external clock may
result in unstable system behavior.

10/6/4/3
The Leadoff means the timing of first memory cycle
in the burst read or write. Actually, this item controls
only page miss read/write leadoff timing and the
clocks of RAS precharge and RAS to CAS delay. The
four digital represent Read Leadoff/ Write Leadoff/
RAS Precharge/ RAS to CAS delay. For example,
default is 10/6/3/3, which means you have 10-x-x-x
DRAM page miss read and 6-x-x-x DRAM write, with
3 clocks RAS precharge and 3 clocks RAS to CAS
delay.
