Virus Warning
If this option is enabled, an alarm message will be displayed when trying
to write on the boot sector or on the partition table on the disk, which is
typical of the virus.
CPU L1 and L2 Cache / CPU L3 Cache
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. By default, these items are
Enabled.
Quick Power On Self Test
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after
the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some
items.
