If you install an operating system, it writes to the boot sector as you install it. In this case, you probably do not want the virus warning feature enabled. Therefore, your system initially has the virus warning feature disabled. This way you won’t need to respond to the virus warning prompts if you install an operating system. Once you have installed it, you can enable this option to take advantage of the virus warning feature.

Setting the Default Speed

Your computer’s processor can operate at two speeds: High

(33 MHz) or Low (8 MHz). The processor is factory set to High speed, where it can access memory faster. If you want the computer to always start at Low speed, change this option to

Low.

Use High speed for everything you do unless you have an application program that requires a slower speed. Some applications, like word processing programs, don’t need the performance of a high CPU speed. (Check your application software manual for guidelines.) You may also want to set this option to Low to conserve battery power.
