data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. The
setting controls the internal cache (also known as L1 or level 1 cache) and external
cache (also known as L2 or level 2 cache). Setting options: [Disabled], [WriteBack],
[WriteThru]. [WriteBack] & [WriteThru] refer to the cache's write policy, which deter-
mines how it handles writes to memory locations that are currently being held in
cache. The [WriteBack] cache policy will produce the best performance.
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting [Enabled] allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh,
resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory
area, a system error may result. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
Hyper Threading Function
This field is used to enable or disable the Hyper Threading function. Setting to [Enabled]
will increase the system performance. Settings: [Enabled], [Disabled].
