Advanced Chipset Setup

Next we'll discuss the main options available in the Advanced Chipset Setup. Most options of this menu refer to RAM memory access setup. Therefore take care when changing any option as a wrong configuration can cause a computer freezing. In case computer freezer after this option is enabled, just reset computer and undo the setup changes in order to function properly. Though sometimes we will suggest to enable some functions, it may happen your computer doesn't support that function enabled, and keeps freezing.

  • Memory Parity Error Check: Enables parity test. As most of present memories don't have a parity chip, we suggest to leave this function disabled, in order to avoid a random parity error message.
  • DRAM ECC/Parity Select: Selects the error correction method used for RAM memory access. ECC or parity. ECC method can only be selected if you have an ECC type RAM, that is mainly used by network servers. Unless you have ECC memory installed (that we think most unlikely), set up this option as "Parity".
  • ECC Checking/Generation: Enables ECC error correction scheme. Only enable this option if your computer is equipped with RAM memory supporting this error correction method, which, as we mentioned, we think is quite unlikely.
  • Run OS/2>= 64 MB or OS Select for DRAM> 64 MB: If you use OS/2 operating system, you must enable this option to access more than 64 MB RAM memory. As most users use Windows 0x, disable this function, or set it as "Non-OS/2").
  • Fast EDO Path Select: Enable this option if your computer memory is of the EDO type.
