It will prevent the message from appearing on the first BIOS screen when the computer boots.

Internal Cache

This option specifies the caching algorithm used for the L1 internal cache memory. The settings are:

Setting	Description
Disabled	Neither L1 internal cache memory on the CPU or
	L2 secondary cache memory is enabled.
WriteBack	Use the write-back caching algorithm.
WriteThru	Use the write-through caching algorithm.
	Internal Cache Setting

External Cache

This option specifies the caching algorithm used for the L2 secondary cache memory. The settings are:

Setting	Description
Disabled	Neither L1 internal cache memory on the CPU or

Cache Bus ECC

This item is to set up the function of Cache Bus Error Correction Code, choose <Enabled> or <Disabled> to determine if the function is available.

System BIOS Cacheable

This item is used to activate the function of re-buffering the contents of shadow RAM from system BIOS. The default setting is <Enable>, which will improve the speed of system.

Shadow

These options control the location of the contents of the 16KB of ROM beginning at the specified memory location. If no adapter ROM is using the named ROM area, this area is made available to the local bus. The settings are:

SETTING	DESCRIPTION
Disabled	The video ROM is not mapped to RAM. The
	contents of the video ROM cannot be read from or
	written to cache memory.
Enabled	The contents of C000h - C7FFFh are written to the
	same address in system memory (RAM) for faster
	execution.
Cached	This option specifies the size of the memory area
	reserved for legacy ISA adapter cards.
