Hard Disk Boot Priority
This item allows you to set the priority for hard disk boot. When you press enter, the selections shows the current
hard disks used in your system as well as the “Bootable Add-in Card” that is relevant to other boot sources media
such as SCSI cards and LAN cards.
CPU L1 and L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from
486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and 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 access by the CPU. These items allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable
the cache function. By default, these items are Enabled.
Hyper-Threading Technology
This feature is enabled when your processor supports Hyper-Threading Technology. Otherwise, this field will be
