Cache memory is additional memory that is much
faster than conventional DRAM (system memory).
CPUs from 486-type 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.
When you select Enabled, it will speed up memory
checking when the external cache contains ECC
SRAMs.
The choices: Enabled; Disabled.
Choose Disabled or Enabled. When enabled, the pro-
cessor serial number will display during the boot up
screen.
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required
to run the power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST
skips certain steps. We recommend that you nor-
mally enable quick POST. Better to find a problem
during POST than lose data during your work.
The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from
