CPU Internal Cache (Enabled)
All processors that can be installed in this mainboard use internal level 1 (L1)
cache memory to improve performance. Leave this item at the default value
for better performance.
External Cache (Enabled)
Most processors that can be installed in this system use external level 2 (L2)
cache memory to improve performance. Leave this item at the default value
for better performance.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking (Enabled)
This item enables or disables ECC (Error Correction Code) error checking on
the CPU cache memory. We recommend that you leave this item at the de-
fault value.
Processor Number Feature (Enabled)
Some new processors are installed with a unique processor number. This
number may be used for verification in Internet transactions and e -commerce.
If you prefer not to use or distribute the unique processor number, disable this
item to suppress the processor number.
Quick Power On Self Test (Enabled)
Enable this item to shorten the power on testing (POST) and have your sys-
tem start up faster. You might like to enable this item after you are confident
that your system hardware is operating smoothly.
