(b) CPU Cache
Use this option to enable or disable the CPU cache.
Enabled Enables the CPU cache. (Default)
Disabled Disables the CPU cache.
When enabled is selected, a subwindow similar to the one below is displayed to
select the cache write policy. The options for this setting are Write-back (default)
and Write-through for CPU cache.
Write-back policy provides better system performance, because main memory is
accessed only when necessary to update the cache contents with changes in main
memory. Write-through policy accesses main memory every time data is handled by
the processor.
(c) Level 2 Cache
Use this option to enable or disable the level 2 cache.
Enabled Enables the level 2 cache. (Default)
Disabled Disables the level 2 cache.

use, the CPU power consumption and clock speed are
automatically switched when necessary. (Default)
Always High Disables Intel SpeedStep technology and always runs the
processor at its fastest speed.

processor at low power consumption and low speed.
