Virus Warning
This item protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk
against accidental modifications. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt
the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either
allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to locate and
remove the problem.
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have
additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By
default, these items are Enabled.
Hyper-Threading Technology
This field enables or disables the Hyper-Threading feature that is
available with CPUs of 3.06GHz speeds (Pentium 4) and above.
