System Cache
The default for the System Cache field is “Enabled.” This field controls both the primary
and secondary caches. Setting the system cache to “Disabled” will hurt performance, but
might be required when running software which utilizes software timing loops and needs to
be slowed down to execute properly.
Boot Speed
Boot speed refers the system CPU cycles. The default boot speed is “Turbo.” “De-turbo”
mode slows the CPU by disabling the system cache and adding increased refresh cycles.
