Power-up Mode
This option lets you choose between Resume and boot mode.
These settings are for the MS-DOS environment only. When you use
Windows, settings made in Power Saver will be used.
CPU Cache, Level 2 Cache

write policy.
Level 2 Cache
and

are activated only when the CPU
cache is enabled. Disabling the CPU cache also disables these features.
