Memory Cache
Enabling cache saves time for the CPU by holding data most recently accessed in regular memory (dynamic RAM or
DRAM) in a special storage area of static RAM (SRAM), which is faster. Before accessing regular memory, the CPU
first accesses the cache. If it does not find the data it is looking for there, it accesses regular memory.
Selecting Memory Cache from the Main Menu displays a menu like the one shown here. The actual features
displayed depend on your system's hardware.

item is the first boot device that BIOS will attempt to boot an operating system. If the device is not bootable the BIOS
