what do they do?

They are 2 unknown options i found in my mobo bios.

1) Should i enable or disable "write to read delay"?

2) What value should i assign to "read to write delay"? 0? 1? 2? 3?


please tell me if u know the answers , thanks.

I guess American Megatrends is more user-friendly after all...

Yeah, you're right... sorry, guess that was my fault.
And... don't the manual of the main board explain these? Which company made the bios? I only know a few things related to AMI.

For optimal performance, you'd want to disable WR delay and set RW delay to 0. However, this may cause system instability if your DRAM module cannot handle this.

Suggestion:
Disable WR delay. If your system's stable, slowly reduce RW delay... stop only when you encounter instability...

Kairi, could you please explain what are these, anyway? I'm curious now. :sad:

I'm just taking a stab at it... I'm not 100% that those settings are what I have in mind, but my intuition tells me that it's related to the delay time between reading and writing to a DRAM module. Usually when a CPU reads, and then writes to RAM, there's a delay time to switch between the two modes. Reducing the RW/WR delay reduces the turnaround time, and thus improve system performance. But if your DRAM module can't handle the faster turnaround time, your system may become unstable.

I know that's a lousy explanation, and a lot of hand-waving argument there, but that's... the gist of things. If anyone else can provide a more detailed explanation/correction, feel free to do so

No, that's pretty ok, thanks for your time!! I could really understand. I had a bit of "industrial electronic" a few years ago, and it involved computers as well.
