Setting the Cache

Your computer comes with an 8KB internal memory cache built

into the microprocessor. The SETUP program allows you to

disable or enable the internal cache, as shown in the following

table.

Cache options

Select

If

Internal Cache

You want to use your system’s internal cache

Disabled

You do not want to use the internal cache

It is best to leave the cache enabled so your system performs

most efficiently.

Setting the Shadow RAM

Your computer can access RAM (random access memory) faster

than ROM (read only memory). The Shadow feature allows

your system to copy the contents of its system BIOS and/or

video BIOS into RAM so it can perform certain operations

faster.

Your system automatically enables shadow RAM for both the

system BIOS and the video BIOS. You may need to disable one

or both shadow options, however, if you install an option card

(such as a SCSI card) that locates its RAM in one of these areas.
