Memory Hole
You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory re- quirements.
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting “Enabled” allows caching of the system BIOS ROM. This results system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may occur.
Video RAM Cacheable
Select Enabled allows caching of the video RAM, resulting in better system per- formance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may occur.
Delay Prior to Thermal
This item allows you to select the delay time before the P4 CPU Thermal Func- tion is enabled. If you are using NT 4.0 you must be active to prevent the sys- tem from hanging. The options are: 4 min, 8 min, 16 min and 32 min.
