    DRAM tRCD
    This controls the latency between the DRAM active command and the
    read / write command. Configuration options: [3 DRAM Clocks], [4 DRAM
    Clocks], [5 DRAM Clocks], [6 DRAM Clocks] and [Auto].
    DRAM tRP This controls the idle clocks after a precharge command is issued.
    Configuration  options:  [3 DRAM  Clocks],  [4 DRAM  Clocks],  [5 DRAM
    Clocks], [6 DRAM Clocks] and [Auto].
    DRAM tRAS Thhis controls the number of DRAM clocks for TRAS. Configuration
    options: [9 DRAM Clocks] to [18 DRAM Clocks] and [Auto].
    Primary Gra phics Adapter
    This item shows the primary graphics adapter. The default value is [PCI].
    Configuration options: [Onboard], [PCI] and [PCI Express].
    Internal Graphics Mode Select If you select [Auto], the onboard VGA will be automatically disabled when
    you install VGA card; the onboard VGA will be enabled without the installa-
    tion of any add-on VGA card. If you select [Enabled, 8MB] or [Enabled,
    1MB], the onboard VGA will be enabled.
    DVMT Mode Select Use this option to adjust DVMT mode. Configuration options: [Fixed Mode]
    and [DVMT Mode]. The default value is [D VMT Mode]. DVMT (Dynamic Video
    Memory Technology) is an architecture that offers breakthrough perfor
    mance for the motherboard through efficient memory utilization. In Fixed\
    mode, a fixed-size fragment of the system memory is allocated to the
    graphics core. In DVMT mode, the graphics driver allocates memory as
    needed for running graphics applications and is cooperatively using this
    memory with other system components. This item will not be used under
    Windows
    ® VistaTM OS because the driver will intelligently detect physical
    memory available and allocate necessary video memory.
    DVMT/FIXED  Memory
    You are allowed to adjust the shared memory size in this item if you set
    DVMT Mode Select as [DVMT Mode]. Configuration options: [128MB], [256MB]
    and [Maximum DVMT].
    Onboard HD Audio Select [Auto], [Enabled] or [Disabled] for the onboard HD Audio feature. If you
    select [Auto], the onboard HD Audio will be disabled when PCI Sound Card is
    plugged.

    Likewise, if it is set to [IDE 1, SATA 2], then SATAII_1 will not work.
    Because Intel® ICH7 south bridge only supports two IDE devices
    under legacy OS (Windows NT), you have to choose [SATA 1, SATA2],
    [SATA 1, IDE 1], or [IDE 1, SATA 2] when the installed device is used

    After selecting the hard disk information into BIOS, use a disk
    utility, such as FDISK, to partition and format the new IDE hard
    disk drives. This is necessary so that you can write or read
    data from the hard disk. Make sure to set the partition of the
    Primary IDE hard disk drives to active.
    [CD/DVD]:  This is used for IDE CD/DVD drives.
    [ARMD]: This is used for IDE ARMD (ATAPI Removable Media Device),
    such as MO.
