Internal/External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional
DRAM (system 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. The setting enables/disables the internal cache (also known
as L1 or level 1 cache) or the external cache (also known as L2 or level 2 cache).
Setting: Enabled and Disabled.
APIC Select
This field is used to enable or disable the APIC (Advanced Programmable
Interrupt Controller). Due to compliance with PC2001 design guide, the system
is able to run in APIC mode. Enabling APIC mode will expand available IRQ
resources for the system. Settings: Enabled and Disabled.
MPS Revision
This field allows you to select which MPS (Multi-Processor Specification)
version to be used for the operating system, when APIC Function is preset to
Enable. You need to select the MPS version supported by your operating
system. To find out which version to use, consult the vendor of your operating
system. Settings: 1.4 and 1.1.
