Feature Overview—MPCBL0010 SBC The hardware may support an assignable decode space; however, the BIOS will set this space prior to handing it over to the OS. It is not expected that the OS will move the location of these timers once the space is set by the BIOS. In the 6300ESB ICH, one timer block is implemented. The timer block has one counter and three timers (comparators). Various capabilities registers indicate the number of timers and the capabilities of each. 2.2.4.3.1 Timer Accuracy T
