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.
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache
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.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
When enabled, this allows E CC checking of the CPU's L2 cache. By
default, this field is Enabled.
Processor Number Feature
This field only appears if the processor on board is a Pentium III
processor. The Processor Number Feature can be enabled or disabled.
