If you have installed external cache in your system, set the

External Cache

option

to Enabled.You must also set your

shadow video and BIOS options

to Cacheable

or

WP-Shadow.

Setting Shadow ROM Options

Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM. Two options,

Shadow BIOS

ROM and

Shadow Video ROM, allow your

system to copy the contents of its system and/or video ROM

into RAM

(WP-Shadow)

or external cache, if you have some

installed

(Cacheable).

When you use shadowing or the

external cache, your system can perform certain operations

faster. You cannot enable

Memory Remapping

when you

enablethe

Shadow Video ROM

and the

Shadow BIOS ROM

options.

Remapping Memory

The

Memory Remapping

option allows you to relocate 384KB

of memory to the top addresses of DRAM. You must disable

this option if you have enabled both the

shadow Video

ROM

and the

Shadow BIOS ROM

options or any of the

Shadow 16K

options that shadow memory at an address that

begins with “D.”
