Can I use LinuxBIOS on an ASUS A7M ?
I forget the chipset, so I don't know.
how do you tweak settings like CAS latency / things like that when using LinuxBIOS ?
carefully :-)
you can't just change CAS on the fly. If you do, RAM stops working. SDRAM is non trivial. So you have to make linuxbios set those parameters on startup.
Although why you would want to set faster CL2 for CL3 ram, or set slower CL3 for CL2 ram, is something I don't understand.
The slower I can under stand for debugging, the rest I really don't know.
The EEPROMS on ram chips also accept the WRITE_BYTE/WRITE_BLOCK commands, or at least some of them do, so the right solution might just be to relable your ram...
