ECS K7S7AG
GameUnion SiS 746 + Xabre200 Mainboard Gallery (4)
The ECS K7S7AG BIOS is an AMIBIOS just
like the K7S5A. It has very little settings that you can meddle with. In the
Advance Chipset Setup, there are settings like the Graphic Win Size which was
default to 64M, we set it to 128M, DRAM CAS default 2.5, we set it to 2. There
is also a DRAM timing and options available are SPD, FAST, TURBO, ULTRA.
PCI IDE Busmaster was disabled by default. We enabled it in
our setup. Here is a screen shot of the BIOS showing the on board devices
that can be enabled or disabled. One of the more exciting options available is the possibility
of enabling Async CPU:MEM ratio. This settings reminds me to SiS 648 boards.
There are many options here for you to choose from. The CPU Overclocking frequency ranges from 100 ~ 165 in my
case, I suppose it can go further since I do not have a 166Mhz (2700+, 2800+
CPU). If you insert a CPU that runs 133Mhz, the FSB range selectable is from 133
~ 165. If it's a Duron, then you can select up to 132Mhz FSB. So I suppose if
you have a 166Mhz CPU, you can select up to 200Mhz FSB all at 1mhz steppings. It's a pity that this board does not provide any multiplier
settings nor voltage selections. I hope a newer bios would include all this or
probably a newer board like the L7S7A would provide all this facilities. |
