This last option will slow the system slightly, since the computer will have to update both screens
simultaneously. Using one display or the other will provide faster performance than using both.
Memory Cache: Caching involves providing memory as a site for holding frequently used commands
or information. This provides faster response than having to access those commands from the DRAM
every time they are needed. You should leave this at the default setting of "Enabled" unless the cache
is causing instability in performance or a manufacturer of a program recommends disabling it when
using their program.
[Sidebar: Pencil icon: Although the caching principle is the same, this Memory cache is not the same
as a disk cache, which is used to speed access to a disk drive.]
Boot Sequence: This item allows you to determine the boot sequence, which is the order of the drives
that the computer will check for the necessary files and information on boot. There are four options:
A: then C: This option first attempts to boot off the A: drive (the floppy disk drive). If there is no
floppy disk in the drive, it will then look to boot from the C: drive (the hard disk drive). If there is a
system disk in the floppy disk drive, it will boot from that disk. If there is a non-system disk, you will
receive an error message and the system will wait for your action. This is the default option in the
Setup program. This option allows you to use a floppy to intercept the boot process before the C:
drive is accessed. This can be important in disinfecting a virus from your system or in making repairs
to a damaged hard drive.[XP5 Pro 6.5]
C: then A: This option will attempt to access the C: drive first, then, if the boot from the C: fails,
attempt to boot from the floppy disk drive.
C: only This option will only attempt to boot to the C: drive.
CD-ROM This option will allow you to boot from a CD-ROM that has been set up with a bootable
partition.
System Memory: This field shows the conventional memory available. This is a display-only item and
cannot be altered.
Extended Memory: This field shows the extended memory available. This is a display-only item and
cannot be altered. If you add this number, [XP5 Pro 6.6] the number in system memory above and
384KB of upper memory reserved for certain computer functions, you should have the total RAM of
your system. If these numbers do not add up to the total RAM in your system, you might need to
check the memory bay on the bottom of your WinBook XP5 Pro for a dislodged memory module. See
the section on adding memory in Chapter Four for information on how to properly seat memory
modules.
