Hard Disk Boot Priority

With the field, there is the option to choose, aside from the hard disks connected, Bootable add-in Cardswhich 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 L1 and L2 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.
