SBC82621 Socket370 Half-size All-in-One CPU Card User’s Manual
Virus Warning
This item protects the boot sector and partition table of
your hard disk against accidental modifications. If an
attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and display
a warning message. If this occurs, you can either allow the
operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to locate
and remove the problem.
NOTE:
Many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to
access the boot sector table, can cause the virus
warning. If you will run such a program, disable the
Virus Warning feature.
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. These
items allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or
disable the cache function. By default, these are
Enabled
.
