IThe latency for PCI Express devices may increase if ASPM is not
disabled. Several expansion cards do not support this feature
correctly, which may lead to an undefined system behavior.
Above 4G Decoding
Specifies if memory resources above the 4 GB address boundary can be
assigned to PCI devices. The selection depends on the operating system
and the populated adapter cards.
Disabled
Only memory resources below the 4 GB address boundary will be
assigned to the PCI devices. This selection is mandatory when
using a 32-bit operating system, but is also supported on 64-bit
operating systems.
Enabled
Memory resources above the 4 GB address boundary may be
assigned to PCI devices, which are capable of 64-bit address
decoding. This selection is supported only on 64-bit operating
systems. It may be required if the populated PCI Express devices
(e.g. coprocessors adapter cards) are claiming a huge amount of
memory resources, which no longer fits into the address space
below 4 GB.
IThe PCI address decoding of 32-bit operating systems is limited
by the 4 GB address boundary, even if the available PCI devices
would also support 64-bit address decoding.
