wait states are used by the system, providing greater stability.
AGP Master 1 WS Read (Disabled)
This implements a single delay when reading to the AGP Bus. By default, two-
wait states are used by the system, allowing for greater stability.

PCI 1/2 Master 0 WS Write (Enabled)
When enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero wait states, pro-
viding faster data transfer.
PCI 1/2 Post Write (Enabled)
When enabled, writes from the CPU to PCU bus are buffered, to compensate
for the speed differences between the CPU and PCI bus. When disabled, the
writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the write is complete be-
fore starting another write cycle.
PCI Delay Transaction (Disabled)
The mainboard’s chipset has an embedded 32-bit post write buffer to support
delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI
specification version 2.1.

Memory Hole (Disabled)
This item is used to reserve memory space for ISA expansion cards that re-
quire it.
System BIOS Cacheable (Disabled)
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-
FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program
writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
