Good luck... the only response I got when I posed this same question was to check out www.viahardware.com for their Abit Bios FAQ...

Well that depends on what ram you have. Do you have pc133 ram? The reason you got that site is that there are a lot of settings. I honestly do not have a list of all of them in front of me. Here is some infor from that site This is the optimum settings:
Fast CPU Command Decode to Fast
Enhance Chip Performance to Enabled
Force 4-way Interleave to Enabled
Enable Dram 4k-page Mode to Enabled
DRAM Clock as HCLK + PCICLK (if you have PC133 SDRAM and an FSB of 100MHz)
DRAM Clock as Host CLK (if you have PC100 SDRAM and an FSB of 100MHz, or if you have PC133 SDRAM and an FSB of 133MHz on KT7A/KT7A-RAID)
In Standard CMOS Features: Auto detect your IDE devices as required
In Advanced BIOS Features set: boot devices as required
Video BIOS Shadow to Enabled (but Disabled may be required for stability)
In Advanced Chipset Features set: Memory settings as described in How do I optimise my BIOS settings for my RAM?
Fast R-W Turnaround to Enabled
AGP4x Mode to Enabled
Fast Write Supported to Enable
K7 CLK_CTL to Default (for USB stability - use Optimal if no USB devices)
AGP Master 1 WS Write to Enable
AGP Master 1 WS Read to Enable
Note: for BIOS ZT only: Abit have by default disabled Enable "Delay Transaction" and "PCI Master Read
Caching" in "Advanced Chipset Features". Although this helps resolve issues of corrupted large file transfers with the Soundblaster soundcard, it has a tendency to introduce other errors (disk, DVD and CDRW related) in the system. So, unless you have experienced the Soundblaster problem, I advise that you enable these two options. Some users also experience hard drive error messages or a "Blue Screen of Death" after flashing to the ZT BIOS. This can usually be resolved by setting the "PCI master time-out" to "0" in the "Advanced Chipset Features".
Save and exit the BIOS
