[Tech ARP] BIOS Option Of The Week - MD Driving Strength

[news 28]

 

 

Dear editor,

 

 

 

We have just posted the *BIOS Option Of The Week - MD Driving Strength*.

 

 

 

Quote : Since 1999, we have been developing the BIOS Optimization Guide,

affectionately known as the BOG. From a meagre beginning of a single page,

it now covers over 440 BIOS options. As old BOG readers will know, we

started offering two editions of the BOG since Revision 8.0 - a simplified

edition and the complete edition.

 

Normally, the complete edition is only available to subscribers who help

sponsor the development of the guide through a small fee. However, that

changes today! From now on, we will post a BIOS option from the complete

edition of the BIOS Optimization Guide every weekend.

 

 

This week, we will be taking a look at the *MD Driving Strength* BIOS

setting. Here's an excerpt :

 

 

 

*"The default driving strength is usually sufficient for normal DRAM loads.

It is kept low in order to reduce EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and

power consumption. However, this means that the default driving strength

may not be sufficient for heavy DRAM loads. This is where the MD Driving

Strength BIOS feature comes in. It offers simplified control of the memory

data bus' driving strength..."*
