Advanced BIOS Features
Virus Warning
The item is to set the Virus Warning feature for IDE Hard Disk boot sector
protection. If the function is enabled and any attempt to write data into this
area is made, BIOS will display a warning message on screen and beep. Settings:
Disabled and Enabled.
CPU L1 & L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional
DRAM (system 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. The settings enable/disable the internal cache (also known
as L1 or level 1 cache) and external cache (also known as L2 or level 2 cache).
Setting options: Disabled, Enabled.
Fast Boot
The setting allows the system to boot within 10 seconds, which is compliant
with PC2001 spec. Fast Boot saves more boot time than Quick Boot by skip-
ping more check items and not displaying standard summary table on the
screen. With this field enabled, system BIOS will automatically set Quick Boot
to Enabled at the same time. Setting options: Enabled, Disabled.
