BIOS Setup

System BIOS Cacheable

When this field is enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM ad-
dressed at F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache
controller is enabled. The larger the range of the Cache RAM, the
higher the efficiency of the system.

Dual VGA Support

This field is used to enable or disable the dual VGA function.

Frame Buffer Size

This field is used to select the total amount of system memory
locked by the BIOS for video. A larger frame buffer size should
result in higher video performance.
