Anyone knows what shoud I choose BIOS settings as for best results?
Total processors: 8 (2xQuad core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz)
RAM: 32GB (16x2GB)
Interface is running bond mode 6.
Server used as webservice for domains, apache, mysql, mail.
Current Bios,
- Force PCI-E Gen2 slot to Gen1 mode [Auto]
Force PCI-E Gen2 port operate at Gen1 mode for compatibility issue with some PCI-E Gen1 card.
- Dual Graphic WinXP Support [Disabled]
Enabled for dual VGA card support under Windows XP
- Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d) [Disabled]
Enable/Disable Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) by reporting the I/O device assigment to VMM through DMAR ACPI Tables.
- Crystal Beach Configure Enable [Disabled]
Enable Configuration /Memory mapped accesses to the Crystal-Beach Configuration space located in Device 8, Fn 0 and Fn 1.
- SERR signal condition [Single bit]
Select ECC error conditions that SERR# be asserted.
- 4GB PCI Hole Granularity [512 MB]
Select the granularity of PCI hole for PCI resource, if MTRRs are not enough, we my use this option to reduce the MTRR occupation
- Memory Branch Mode [Interleave]
