Hard Disk Boot Priority

This item allows you to set the priority for hard disk boot. When you press enter, the selections shows the current hard disks used in your system as well as the “Bootable Add-in Card” that is relevant to other boot sources media such as SCSI cards and LAN cards.

CPU L1 and L2 Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much 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 items allow you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By default, these items are Enabled.

Hyper-Threading Technology

This feature is enabled when your processor supports Hyper-Threading Technology. Otherwise, this field will be hidden.

Quick Power On Self Test

When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.
