Cache System BIOS Area
This feature is only available when the system BIOS is shadowed. It enables or
disables the caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh via the L2 cache.
This greatly speeds up accesses to the system BIOS. However, this does not
necessarily make the system perform better because the OS does not need to
access the system BIOS often.
As such, it would be a waste of L2 cache bandwidth to cache the system BIOS
instead of data that are more critical to the system's performance. In addition, if any
program writes into this memory area, it will result in a system crash. So, it is
recommended that you write protect this area for optimal system performance.
Options: NULL / Write Protect
Cache Video BIOS Area
This feature is only valid when the video BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables
the caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-C7FFFh via the L2 cache. This
