Hi Bisley. Welcome to the Forum!! :wave:

What motherboard do you have?

 

[Bisley]

Its an MSI 6380 k7t266 pro.

Looks like you stumped the panel on this one. I did find an interesting thing on MSI's website-

K7T266 Pro2-A & K7T266 Pro2-RU don't use the same BIOS

I just downloaded your entire mobo manual and found no reference to "ATM" in the entire document.


I found a flash "6380ev542.EXE" with a caution-
This BIOS is intended for MS-6380E PCB with KT266A chipset.

Is this the file you used and is yours a pro2-A or a pro2-RU?

 

[JAMMAN]

It looks like "6380v35.EXE" is the flash for pro2-RU.

Thanks for tyring to help

Hey Bisley- I ICQ'ed one of my guru buddies and he knew..

Those settings refer to the AGP (or any video video subsystem) bus. Older PCI cards needed delays in reading and writing to and from memory. Most AGP cards don't need a delay so usually those settings are diabled.

I haven't been able to stump him yet.
