MS-6702 ATX Mainboard Boot To OS/2 This allows you to run the OS/2® operating system with DRAM larger than 64MB. When you choose No, you cannot run the OS/2® operating system with DRAM larger than 64MB. But it is possible if you choose Yes. Internal Cache Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system 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 setting controls the internal cache (also known as L1 or level 1 cache). Setting to Enabled will speed up the system performance. System BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000hFFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. Setting options: Enabled, Disabled. C000, 32k Shadow This item specifies how the contents of the adapter ROM named in the item are handled. Settings are described below: Option Disabled Enabled Cached Description The specified ROM is not copied to RAM. The contents of specified ROM are copied to RAM for faster system performance.
