CPU Hardwired IOQ (In Order Queue) Size
Default per strap on pin MA11 during reset.
This
register bit can be written to 0 to restrict the chip to
one level of IOQ.
0
1-Level
1
4-Level ....... default if no external strap resistor

CPU / PCI Master Read DRAM Timing
0
Start DRAM read after snoop complete ...... def
1
Start DRAM read before snoop complete
Device 0 Offset 51 – Response Phase Control (00h)....... RW
7
CPU Read DRAM 0WS for Back-to-Back Read
Transactions
0
Disable................................................... default
1Enable
Setting this bit enables maximum read performance
by
allowing
continuous
0-wait-state
reads
for
pipelined line reads. If this bit is not set, there will be
at least 1T idle time between read transactions.
6
CPU Write DRAM 0WS for Back-to-Back Write
Transactions
0
Disable................................................... default
1Enable
Setting this bit enables maximum write performance
by allowing
continuous
0-wait-state
writes
for
pipelined line writes ands sustained 3T single writes.
If this bit is not set, there will be at least 1T idle time
between write transactions.

CPU Read DRAM Prefetch Buffer Depth
0
1-level prefetch buffer ........................... default
1
4-level prefetch buffer

CPU-to-DRAM Post-Write Buffer Depth
0
1-level post-write buffer ........................ default
1
4-level post-write buffer
0
Concurrent PCI Master / Host Operation
0
Disable – the CPU bus will be occupied (BPRI
asserted) during the entire PCI operation..... def
1
Enable – the CPU bus is only requested before
ADS# assertion
