System Cache
The default for the System Cache field is “Enabled.” This
field controls both the primary and secondary caches.
Setting the system cache to “Disabled” will hurt
performance. This might be required, however, when
running software that utilizes software timing loops and
needs to be slowed down to execute properly.
Boot Speed
Boot speed refers to the system CPU cycles. The default
boot speed is “Turbo.” “De-turbo” mode slows the CPU by
disabling the system cache and adding increased refresh
cycles.
NOTE
“De-turbo
”
does not reduce the CPU speed to
8 MHz. If
“
De-turbo
”
is selected, it will automatically
“
Disable
”
the System Cache.
Num Lock
The Num Lock field controls whether the NumLock key on
the keyboard will be “On” or “Off” at bootup. The default
is “Off.”
Speaker
The Speaker field allows you to turn the onboard speaker
on or off. The options are “Enabled” or “Disabled.” The
default for the Speaker field is “Enabled.”
