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 to
locate and remove the problem.
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to access the
boot sector table, can cause the virus warning. If you will run
such a program, disable the Virus Warning feature.

CPU Internal Cache / External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on 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. 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
This field enables or disables the ECC (Error Correction Checking)
checking of the CPU level-2 cache. The default setting is Enabled.
