Configuring Cache Memory; Configuring Memory Shadow - Epson ActionPC 5000 User Manual

Configuring cache memory

The system can configure your memory Cache options or
you can manually set them. If you have installed external
cache, enabling cache memory improves system performance,
especially in large data retrieval and processing environments.
If you choose to configure the cache memory yourself (rather
than let the system configure it for you), you can define the
burst wait states and two non-cacheable areas of memory.
However, it's a good idea to let the system automatically
configure this feature.

Configuring memory shadow

The system can configure the Memory Shadow options or
you can manually enable shadowing for your system and video
memory as well as for specific blocks of ROM.
Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM. The options
on this screen allow your system to copy the contents of its
system and/or video ROM into RAM. When you use
shadowing, your system can perform certain operations faster,
providing a significant increase in performance.
Note
For the best system performance, always set the System
shadow and the Video shadow optionsto Enabled.
If you enable shadowing for specific blocks, the ROM located in
this block is copied to the shadow area.
