Advanced BIOS Features

This section allows you to configure and improve your system and allows you to set

up some system features according to your preference.

CPU Feature

Press Enter to configure the settings relevant to CPU Feature.

Hard Disk Boot Priority

With the field, there is the option to choose, aside from the hard disks connected,

“Bootable add-in Cards” 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 Internal and External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is 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 allow you to enable

(speed up memory access) or disable the cache function.
