CPU Disconnect - couldn't find this in the guide. Anyone know what it does?

Cheers

I presume it's from Abit's NF7? It's for Idling your CPU when it's not used, hence reducing temperature. If you want in detail, please post in complete format. Thanks.

Cheers, sorry new here - here you go in 'complete format'

BIOS Option : CPU Disconnect
Options : Enabled, Disabled

Cannot find these three settings in the BOG, so i post it here

BIOS Option : Row Precharge Time
Options : 2T, 3T
Description : This item controls the number of cycles for Ros Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate it's charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
Motherboard : MSI KT4V
Chipset : VIA KT400

BIOS Option : RAS Pulse Width
Options : 6T, 5T
Description : This setting allows you to select the number of clock cycles allotted for the RAS pulse width, according to DRAM specifications.
Motherboard : MSI KT4V
Chipset : VIA KT400

BIOS Option : RAS to CAS delay
Options : 3T, 2T
Description : 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 to CAS.
Motherboard : MSI KT4V
Chipset : VIA KT400

found three more here

BIOS Option : DDR DQS Input Delay
Options : Auto, 18, 08, 0E, 0F
Description : This setting allows you to set the delay time of DQS to improve the setup time and hold time of the data, and improve the stability.
Motherboard : MSI KT4V
Chipset : VIA KT400

BIOS Option : Fast Command
Options : Ultra, Fast, Normal
Description : This item controls the internal timing of the CPU
Motherboard : MSI KT4V
Chipset : VIA KT400

BIOS Option : Fast R-2-R Turnaround
Options : Disabled, Enabled
Description : Burst read operation can be interupted by new read of any bank. Random column access is allowed. READ to READ interval is minimum 1 CLK.

BIOS Option: AGP Read Synchronization
Options: Enable or Disable
Description: The field allows you to enable or disable the AGP Read Synchronization feature. Settings: Enabled, Disabled
Motherboard: MSI KT3 Ultra2-R
Chipset: VIA KT333
BIOS Manufacturer: AMI Version 5.7

Have searched the internet high and low, and have not found a definition of what exactly this does, my guess is it has something to do with synchronizing the AGP bus with something else, but besides that, I know squat? HELP PLS! Thanks

Motherboard: SOYO SY-5SSM
Chipset: SiS 530
Bios: Award

BIOS Option: Ref/Act Command Delay
Options: 5T,6T,7T,8T
Description: set the DRAM clock of the refresh command to refresh/active command delay

BIOS Option: Refresh Queue Depth
Options: 0,4,8,12
Description: set depth of refresh queue

These were found under "Chipset features setup". I could not find info on these options anywhere.
Maybe they are also known as by some other option name?

Adrian's Rojak Pot BOG is by far the best resource I've found on the Internet regarding BIOS options. The subscription is totally worth it!

Here’s a list of BIOS options for the Asus A8V motherboard (VIA K8T800Pro chipset) that I couldn’t find a reference to in the BOG. I apologize if any of these are listed there already under a different name; I tried to screen for that as much as possible, while looking like I’m working at my day job.

BIOS Option : Node Interleaving
Options : Auto, Enabled, Disabled
Description : Sets whether to allow memory accesses to be spread out over BANKS on the same node or across nodes, decreasing access contention.

BIOS Option : TRFC
Options : Auto, 9-15 CLK (increments of 1)
Description : Sets the TRFC.

BIOS Option : TRWT
Options : Auto, 1-6 CLK (increments of 1)
Description : Sets the TRWT.

BIOS Option : TWCL
Options : Auto, 1-2 CLK (increments of 1)
Description : Sets the TWCL.

BIOS Option : Asynclat
Options : Auto, 4-9 CLK (increments of 1)
Description : Sets the Asynclat.

BIOS Option : Read Preamble Setting
Options : Auto, 2.0-9.0 ns (increments of 0.5)
Description : Sets the Read Preamble in nano seconds.

BIOS Option : Search for MDA Resources
Options : Yes, No
Description : Sets whether to allow search for MDA Resources

BIOS Option : ACPI 2.0 Support
Options : Yes, No
Description : Allows you to add more tables for ACPI 2.0 specifications.

This last one seems straighforward enough, but I was wondering what the recommendation would be for it:

BIOS Option : Legacy USB Support
Options : Disabled, Enabled, Auto
Description : Allows you to enable or disable support for legacy USB devices. Setting to Auto allows the system to detect the presence of USB devices at startup. If detected, the USB controller legacy mode is enabled. If no USB device is detected, the legacy USB support is disabled.

Here's one I don't know and can't find.

BIOS Option : ATA 66/100 CABLE MESSAGE
Options : Enabled, Disabled
Description : "The choice is enable or disable". Really, you don't say!
Motherboard : Shuttle AK32V / AK32VN
Chipset : VIA KT266A

I believe this will display a message if not using an ATA-133 compatible IDE cable, but not sure. As you see, the desc. in the manual is of no use.
