Press  to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used.
The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of avail-
able IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The
available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must
be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve
the...

3-19BIOS Setup tCL (CAS Latency)
When the Memory Timings sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable.This con-
trols the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles) before
SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. tRCD
When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately.
This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS
(row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clock
cycles, the faster the DRAM performance....

3-20MS-7366 Mainboard Adjust PCI-E Frequency
This field allows you to select the PCIE frequency (in MHz). Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency
When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and
PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Memory Voltage
Adjusting the memory voltage can increase the DDR speed. Spread Spectrum
When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the
pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The...
