”
which refers to other external devices.
Virus Warning
If this option is enabled, an alarm message will be displayed when trying to write
on the boot sector or on the partition table on the disk, which is typical of the
virus.
CPU L1 / 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.
