Dear guys:
I am just wondering that what the check of NVRAM does,
when the computer boots?
I can skip the check via pressing Esc (I enabled it at the BIOS)
If the computer can skip the check, so what does the matter for the NVRAM check?

Hi,

NVRAM: Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, a type of memory that retains its contents when power is turned off. Usually used to store BIOS data.

The "check" at boot up is just to make sure the data stored in the nvram is valid.

I don't see any harm in disabling the check...nor do I see any harm in allowing it to continue.

There were some issues with motherboards actually hanging up on the nvram checks due to some configuration problems - I haven't heard of that in awhile tho... if your PC boots through the check with no issues I would say it's totally up to you as to allow or not. :)

Hope this is a little help.

Hi Richard,

The Tyan Thunder i7505 S2665 (I had a typo in my sig previously - I had listed the i7501 which was incorrect) supports up to 4GB of DDR266 memory - 4 slots. I have 3x1GB sticks of Crucial ram.
CT12864Z265 DDR PC2100 CL=2.5 Non-parity. :) I'm itching to fill that last slot, too.

Excuse us figo2476... :)
