cessor serial number will display during the boot up
screen.
CPU Internal Cache/
External 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.
The External Cache field may not appear if your sys-
tem does not have external cache memory.
CPU L2 Cache ECC
Checking
When you select
Enabled
, memory checking is en-
able when the external cache contains ECC SRAMs.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Quick Power On Self
Test
Select
Enabled
to reduce the amount of time required
to run the power-on self -test (POST). A quick POST
skips certain steps. We recommend that you nor-
mally disable quick POST. Better to find a problem
during POST than lost data during your work.
NOTE:
Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sec-
tor table can trigger the virus warning message. If you
plan to run such a program, we recommend that you dis-
able the virus warning.
Virus Warning
When enabled, you receive a warning message if a
program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the
boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive.
You should then run an antivirus program. Keep in
mind that this feature protects only the boot
sector, not the entire hard drive.
