[. . . ] This mainboard has a built-in VGA graphics system so you must leave this item at the default value. Halt On Default: All Errors This item defines the operation of the system POST (Power On Self Test) routine. You can use this item to select which kind of errors in the POST are sufficient to halt the system. They are automatically detected by the system so you cannot manually make changes to these items. BIOS Feature Setup Option This option displays a table of items which defines more advanced information about your system. You can make modifications to most of these items without introducing fatal errors to your system. 26 CPU Internal Core Speed Default: 350MHz This item should be installed with the rated internal core speed of the Pentium-II class processor that is installed in your system. The setup utility will then automatically configure the system with the correct host bus speed, and bus frequency multiplier. If you set this item to Manual, two new items will appear: CPU Host BUS Frequency and CPU Core:Bus Freq. You can use these two items to manually configure the mainboard for the speed of the processor. The values available in these two items will vary, according to the kind of Pentium-II processor that is installed. Note: Using the three items above, you can configure the mainboard so that it runs a processor faster than the rated clock speed. Overclocking can introduce excess heat, recurring instability, or even complete failure in your system. CPU Core Voltage Default: Default This item can be used to a set a core voltage for different kinds of processors. Leave this item at the default value and your system will automatically assign the correct voltage. CPU Clock Failed Reset Default: Disabled If this item is enabled, and your system crashes three times because you have overclocked the processor, this item will automatically adjust the speed of the processor to the system bus speed multiplied by two. 27 CIH Buster Protection Default: Enabled Anti-Virus Protection Default: Enabled When "CIH Buster Protection" item is enabled it provided some protection against viruses which try to destroy BIOS viruses (especially for CIH). When "Anti-Virus Protection" item is enabled it provides some protection against viruses which try to write to the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive. You might need to disable it so that you can install an operating system. We recommend that you enable Anti-Virus Protection as soon as you have installed your disk with an OS. CPU Internal Cache Default: Enabled All the processors that can be installed in this mainboard use internal (level 1) cache memory to improve performance. External Cache Default: Enabled Most of the processor cartridges that can be installed in this mainboard have (level 2) external cache memory (the Celeron-266 MHz is an exception). Only enable this item if your processor cartridge has external cache memory. CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking Default: Enabled This item can be used to enable ECC (Error Checking Code) for the level-2 cache memory. Processor Number Feature Default: Enabled Some new procesosrs (the Pentium-III) are installed with a unique procesosr identification number. If you disable this item, the number will be suppressed so that it cannot be read by other systems on the network. Quick Power On Self Test Default: Enabled You can enable this item to shorten the power on testing and have your system start up a little faster. [. . . ] Windows 95/98 The modem is a plug and play device so Windows 95/98 will automatically detect the presence of your modem. When the Plug and Play wizard begins to look for modem drivers, click on the button that says Have Disk and then browse or type in the pathname to the CMI8x58\modem\win9x folder. Windows NT 4. 0 Follow the instructions in the README file in the WINNT4 sub-folder. VIA Folder Installation Notes The setup program supports to register VIA chipset's function in Windows 95 and Windows 98. Run setup and select " install VIA Chipset Functions `Registry'", then it will automatically install this program. [. . . ]
