    BIOS SETUP shadowing into each section of memory separately. Many system designers hardwire shadowing of the system BIOS and eliminate a System BIOS Shadow option. Video BIOS shadows into memory area C0000-C7FFF. The remaining areas shown on the “BIOS Features Setup” screen may be occupied by other expansion card firmware. If an expansion peripheral in your system contains ROM-based firmware, you need to know the address range the ROM occupies to shadow it into the correct area of RAM.
