BIOS Setup

Advanced Chipset Features

This section gives you functions to configure the system based on
the specific features of the chipset. The chipset manages bus speeds
and access to system memory resources. 

These items should not

be altered unless necessary.

 The default settings have been chosen

because they provide the best operating conditions for your system.
The only time you might consider making any changes would be if
you discovered some incompatibility or that data was being lost
while using your system.

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.
