When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a

virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk

drive. You should then run an anti-virus program.  Keep in mind that this

feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive. Note: Many

disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the

virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that

you first disable the virus warning.

Cache memory is additional memory that is much 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.

The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external

cache memory.

Enables Error Checking and correction (ECC) on the L2 cache onboard the

CPU.

Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-

test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you

normally disable quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose

data during your work.

The original IBM PCs loaded the operating system from drive A (floppy disk),

so IBM PC-compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system

first on drive A, and then on drive C (hard disk). However, modern computers

usually load the operating system from the hard drive, and may even load it

from a CD-ROM drive. The BIOS now offers a large number of boot devices

and boot sequence options.
