In the said method, behind standard operation voltage and canonical reference voltage-regulation to internal memory, through the memory compatibility test, form a test result matrix A, in the test result matrix A, choose the operating voltage and the reference voltage of the internal memory of a pair of compatible optimum, computer motherboard is exported compatible optimal working voltage and reference voltage according to this, with regard to having avoided computer motherboard and internal memory, solved the compatibility issue of mainboard and internal memory so in use owing to incompatible computer corruption or the blue screen phenomenon of causing.
As shown in Figure 4, synoptic diagram for the test result matrix A in the above-mentioned steps 34, in forming test result matrix A process, step 32 and step 33 are to carry out simultaneously, when whenever obtaining a pair of unsteady operating voltage and unsteady reference voltage, the memory voltage output module will be exported this a pair of unsteady operating voltage and unsteady reference voltage, and the compatibility of test memory under this a pair of unsteady operating voltage and unsteady reference voltage, if test result is compatible, then in this square, increase corresponding mark to float operating voltage and unsteady reference voltage correspondence, if test result is incompatible, also in this square, increase corresponding mark to float operating voltage and reference voltage correspondence, the final test result matrix A that forms, certainly at first when obtaining standard operation voltage and canonical reference voltage, also to carry out compatibility test to standard operation voltage and canonical reference voltage.
Theoretically, in the process that forms the test result matrix A, step 32 and step 33 also can be nonsynchronous, as long as pairing a pair of operating voltage of each element and reference voltage in the final testing result matrix A all pass through compatibility test.
Illustrate and in above-mentioned test result matrix A, choose the compatible optimum a pair of operating voltage and the process of reference voltage, standard operation voltage 1.80V, canonical reference voltage 0.900V with internal memory are example, the a plurality of unsteady operating voltage that is produced according to mentioned order Vo_init+N * Vo_step is respectively 1.50V, 1.55V......2.10V, and a plurality of unsteady reference voltage that is produced according to mentioned order Vf_init+K * Vf_step is respectively: 0.980V, 0.960V......0.820V; Wherein, the square of mark " * " is represented not operating voltage and the reference voltage by compatibility test, the square of mark " √ " is represented operating voltage and the reference voltage by compatibility test, in this test result matrix, can choose the operating voltage and the reference voltage of a pair of being labeled as " √ ", as the adjustment voltage of internal memory, the actual output voltage according to this adjusted magnitude of voltage control internal memory just can guarantee that mainboard and internal memory compatibility issue can not occur.
Consider the instability of power supply power supply, the operating voltage of internal memory and reference voltage usually need certain margin range, and therefore, above-mentioned steps 35 is specially:
1) in described test result matrix A, choose m capable * the sub-test result matrix B of n row, wherein m, n are the odd number greater than 1; Preferably, in order to improve compatibility test efficient, shorten the test duration, can with the standard operation voltage of internal memory and canonical reference voltage be symcenter choose m capable * the sub-test result matrix B of n row;
2) judge B Ll, B Ln, B Ml, B MnWhether Dui Ying a pair of operating voltage and reference voltage are a pair of operating voltage and the reference voltage of mainboard and internal memory compatibility respectively;
3) if then with a pair of operating voltage of the symcenter correspondence of sub-test result matrix B and real work voltage and the actual reference voltage that reference voltage is set to internal memory respectively, step finishes; If not, then go to step 4);

In the above-mentioned steps 37, can be by the serial i/o interface on the mainboard or parallel input/output interface input adjustment criteria operating voltage or the employed control command of canonical reference voltage, also can be set to the real work voltage output of internal memory by the operating voltage that this serial i/o interface or parallel input/output interface obtain at last, the reference voltage that obtains at last is set to the actual reference voltage output of internal memory; And the source end of this serial i/o interface or parallel input/output interface can link together with the output of the chip of mainboard, as linking together with the output of South Bridge chip on the mainboard.
