Unleashing the Bear(lake): Changing "strap" on the fly

[bachus_anonym]

Can we get a bios edit with these setting for the P5K Deluxe?

This fine-tuning of memory performance has been made adjustable in BIOS since its 1st release. Where? Setting is called Transaction Booster with Disabled [Relax - 0,1,2,3] and Enabled [Boost - 0,1], with Relax 3 being the highest latency and Boost 1 as the lowest latency available to be set in BIOS by the user. Additionally, DRAM Static Read Control set to Enabled will also provide a boost, as opposed to Disabled <-- that's why at certain high FSB and memory speed, system will often fail to POST with this last option Enabled. It's happening more often with Asus P5K3D (DDR3) flavor, rather than P5KD, due to high memory frequencies...

From what I know, this option does not change bus strap but affects memory performance by manipulating internal chipset latencies. These are calculated based on FSB, and memory speed and I think tCL in some cases.
