Page 31: Cpu L2 Cache Ecc Checking
BIOS SETUP • CPU Internal Cache / External Cache Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type and up contain internal cache memory. 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 accessed by the CPU. -
Page 32: Swap Floppy Drive
BIOS SETUP • First / Second / Third Boot Device; Boot Other Device The original IBM PCs loaded the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk). Therefore, IBM PC-compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on drive A, and then on drive C (hard disk). -
