Enabled
the cache memory, thus allowing your system to function faster. Set this to
Disabled to run the video BIOS from RAM. The default is Enabled
.
Memory at 15MB-16MB Reserved for
To prevent memory address conflicts between the system and expansion boards,
reserve this memory range for the use of either the system or an expansion board.
Memory Parity Mode
This parameter allows you to enable or disable the ECC and parity check features.
Select Parity to enable the parity check feature. Select ECC to enable the ECC
feature. The ECC feature enables BIOS to detect and correct data errors. Disable
this parameter if you want to disregard the function. The default setting is
Disabled.
Single Processor MP Table
Enabling this parameter allows BIOS to create a multiprocessor (MP) table.
The Windows NT system will install the multiprocessor kernel if it finds the MP
table, otherwise, it will install the single processor kernel if the system can not
find the MP table during installation. Enabling this option allows the system to
build the multiprocessor kernel whether the system has one or two processor.
The benefit of this option is that users just need to run the "UPTOMP" utility to
activate the MP kernel when installing a second CPU. The drawback is that it will
affect the performance of the system with a single CPU running the MP kernel.
