(DDR 1&2, from left to right)
Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers.

Hardware Setup
DDR Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slot. Memory modules can be installed on the slots in any order. You can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet your own needs.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:

This item is to activate the IPCA (Advanced Configuration and Power Management
Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as Windows 98SE/
2000/ME, select [Enabled]. Settings: [Enabled] and [Disabled].
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, such as Windows 98SE, Windows ME and Windows 2000, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1 (POS) or S3 (STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Options are:
[S1/POS] The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system context.
[S3/STR] The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the information of system configuration and open applications/files is saved to main memory that remains powered while most other hardware components turn off to save energy. The information stored in memory will be used to restore the system when a “wake up” event occurs.
Re-Call VGA BIOS at S3 Resuming
When ACPI Standby State is set to [S3/STR], users can select the options in this field. Selecting [Yes] allows BIOS to call VGABIOS to initialize the VGA card when system wakes up (resumes) from S3 sleep state. The system resume time is shortened when you disable the function, but system will need an AGP driver to initialize the VGA card. Therefore, if the AGP driver of the card does not support the initialization feature, the display may work abnormally or not function after resuming from S3.
Options: [Auto], [Yes], [No].

BIOS Setup
PNP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.
Reset Configuration Data
The ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) NVRAM (Non-volatile Random
Access Memory) is where the BIOS stores resource information for both PNP and non-PNP devices in a bit string format. When the item is set to [Enabled], the system will reset ESCD NVRAM right after the system is booted up and then set the setting of the item back to [Disabled] automatically. Settings: [Disabled], [Enabled].
Resources Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows ® 98/
2000. If you set this field to [Manual], choose specific resources by going into each sub-menu that follows this field. Settings: [Auto(ESCD)], [Manual].
IRQ Resources
The items are adjustable only when Resources Controlled By is set to [Manual].
Press <Enter> and you will enter the sub-menu of the items.

IRQ Resources list IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 for users to set each IRQ a type depending on the type of device using the IRQ. Settings are:
[PCI Device]
[Reserved]
For Plug & Play compatible devices designed for PCI bus architecture.
The IRQ will be reserved for further request.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
When set to [Enabled], multiple VGA devices operating on different buses can handle data from the CPU on each set of palette registers on every video device. Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI device configuration space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit
(0 is disabled). For example, if there are two VGA devices in the computer (one PCI and one ISA) and the:
VGA Palette
Snoop Bit Setting
[Disabled]
[Enabled]
Action
Data read or written by the CPU is only directed to the PCI
VGA device’s palette registers.
Data read or written by the CPU is directed to both the PCI
VGA device’s palette registers and the ISA VGA device’s palette registers, permitting the palette registers of both VGA devices to be identical.
The setting must be set to [Enabled] if any ISA bus adapter in the system requires
VGA palette snooping.

Default=[65] ( 0 C)
(2) CPU PWM Step 1/2/3
CPU PWM Step 1: The regular fan speed at start-up.
Default=[3F] (CPU fan voltage is around 85%)
CPU PWM Step 2: Once the CPU temperature is higher than than the value in Step2 Temp
(55 0 C), the CPU fan will speed up to this value to avoiding overheating.
Default=[6F] (CPU fan voltage is around 92%)
CPU PWM Step 3: Once the CPU temperature is higher than the value in Step2 Temp (65 0 C),
the CPU fan will speed up to this value to avoiding overheating.
This value is the full speed of CPU fan.
Default=[FF] (CPU fan voltage is 100%)
*In CPU PWM Steps, if the value you set is [00], the CPU fan voltage is 0%; but the CPU fan
voltage changes to 70% if the value you set is [01]. Please refer to the following chart.

Take the default setting as shown in the screen in the right for example. Your CPU fan will run at the
[3F] speed at start-up. Once the CPU temperature reaches to [55] ( 0 C) , the CPU fan will speed up to
CPU TEMP ( 0 C )
[6F] to cool down the CPU temperature. However, if the CPU temperature keeps on going up to [65] ( 0 C) , then the CPU fan will speed up to
[FF], which is the CPU full speed, to avoid overheating damage.

This setting controls the multiplier that is used to determine the internal clock speed of the processor relative to the external or motherboard clock speed. It is available only when the processor supports this function.
Auto Detect PCI Clk
This item is used to auto detect the PCI slots. When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Settings: [Enabled], [Disabled].
Spread Spectrum
When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. Setting options:
[Disabled], [+/-0.25%], [-0.5%], [+/-0.5%], [+/-0.38%].
CPU FSB Clock (Mhz)
Use this item to select the appropriate clock frequency of the CPU host bus. Setting ranges are: [100]~[255].
DDR Voltage Adjust
Adjusting the DDR voltage can increase the DDR speed. Any changes made to this setting may cause a stability issue, so changing the DDR voltage for long-term purpose is NOT recommended .
AGP Voltage Adjust
AGP voltage is adjustable in the field, allowing you to increase the performance of your AGP display card when overclocking, but the stability may be affected.
With AGP card installed Default value= [1.50 V]
Without AGP card installed Default value= [1.70 V]

Load High Performance/BIOS Setup Defaults
The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS settings to High Performance defaults or BIOS Setup defaults. The High Performance
Defaults are the values set by the mainboard manufacturer for the best system performance but probably will cause a stability issue. The BIOS Setup Defaults are the default values also set by the mainboard manufacturer for stable performance of the mainboard.
When you select Load High Performance Defaults , a message as below appears:
Pressing <Enter> loads the default BIOS values that enable the best system performance but may lead to a stability issue.
MSI Reminds You...
If you have a DDR400 memory module (or more) installed on your system, and you are using a CPU with FSB 800MHz and you wish to overclock, you must load this High Performance Defaults . If not, your system will run at FSB533MHz even you have a FSB-800MHz
CPU. Use of high performance defaults will tighten most timings to increase the system performance.
However, we don’t recommend that users should apply the high performance defaults in their regular systems. Otherwise, the system may become unstable or even crash. If the system crashes or hangs after enabling the feature, please CLEAR CMOS DATA to resolve the problem. For more information, refer to “Clear CMOS
Jumper: JBAT1” in Chapter 2.
When you select Load BIOS Setup Defaults , a message as below appears:
Pressing <Enter> loads the default values that are factory settings for stable system performance.

You will be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the password and press
<Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will show up confirming the password will be disabled.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup without entering any password.
When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have BIOS to request a password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. The setting to determine when the password prompt is required is the Security Option of the Advanced BIOS Feature menu. If the Security Option is set to [System], the password is required both at boot and at entry to
Setup. If set to [Setup], password prompt only occurs when you try to enter Setup.
