The CPU Speed option sets the processor speed to fast or slow. At fast speed, your processor operates at its highest speed. At the slow speed setting, the processor operates at 8 MHz to provide compatibility with older application programs. Leave it set to fast speed unless you know your application program requires the slow setting.

system and/ or video ROM into RAM so it can perform certain operations faster.
