BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup

program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic

system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of CMOS

RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power

is turned o f f.

Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without

accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output

devices s uch as keyboard, mous e, serial ports and dis k drives. BIOS activates at the

first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some

additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning

options are also included in BIOS.

The rest of this manual will to guide yo u through the options and s ettings in BIOS

Setup.

This AMI BIOS supports the AMD CPU.

Using Setup

When starting up the computer, press

<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test

(POST) to enter the BIOS setup utility.

In the BIOS setup utility, you will see

General Help description at the top right

corner, and this is providing a brief

description of the selected item.

Navigation Keys for that particular menu

are at the bottom right corner, and you can

use thes e keys to select item and c hange

the settings.

Notice

zThe default BIOS settings apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance

of the motherboard. If the system becomes unstable after changing any settings,

please load the default s ettings to ensure system’s compatibility and stability. Use

Load Setup Default under the Exit Menu.

zFor better system p erformance, the BIOS firmware is b eing continuous ly updated.

The BIOS information described in this manual is for your reference only. The actual

BIOS information and settings on board may be slightly different from this manual.

zThe content of this manual is subject to be changed without notice. We will not be

responsib le for any mistakes found in this user’s manual and any system damage that

may b e caused by wro ng-s ettings.

G31-M4 BIOS Manual

Hardware Prefetcher

The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically analyzes its requirements

and prefetc hes data and ins tructio ns from the memory into the Level 2 cache that are

likely to be required in the near future. This reduces the latency associated with

memory reads.

Options: Enabled (Default) / Dis abled

Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch

The processor has a hardware ad jacent c ache line p refetch mechanis m that

automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache line whenever the processor requests for

a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cac he latency b y making the next cac he line

immediately available if the processor requires it as well.

Options: Enabled (Default) / Dis abled

Max CPUID Value Limit

When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID

instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must

first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This

determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system.

Options: Disabled (Default) / Enabled

Hyper Threading Technology

Enabled for Windows XP and Linux4 (OS optimized for Hyper Threading
