[. . . ] The value of the base memory is typically 640K for system with 640K or more memory size installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory This item displays the amount of extended memory detected during system boot-up. Total Memory This item displays the total memory available in the system. BIOS Setup AW8D 3-13 3. 3 Advanced BIOS Features CPU L3 Cache This item is used to enable the L3 cache (default setting), and appears only for certain CPU (Intel Pentium 4 processor with HT Technology Extreme Edition) that possesses L3 cache. Hyper-Threading Technology This item is used to enable the functionality of the processor with Hyper-Threading Technology and will appear only when using such processor. The Hyper-Threading Technology helps your PC work more efficiently by maximizing processor resources and enabling a single processor to run two separate threads of software simultaneously, bringing forth greater performance and system responsiveness when running multiple applications at once. Quick Power On Self Test When set to [Enabled], this item speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after powering on the system. The BIOS shorten or skip some check during the POST. 3-14 AW8D CPU Feature Click <Enter> key to enter its submenu: Thermal Management This item selects the type of thermal monitoring. TM2 Bus Ratio This item represents the frequency (bus ratio) of the throttled performance state that will be initiated when the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot. TM2 Bus VID BIOS Setup This item represents the voltage of the throttled performance state that will be initiated when the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot. Limit CPUID MaxVal When set to [Enabled], this item limits the CPUID maximum value to 3, which is usually required for older OS like Windows NT4. 0. Leave this item to its default [Disabled] settings for OS like Windows XP. C1E Function This item appears only for certain processors with the C1E (Enhanced Halt State) Function. When set to [Enabled], the processor will further reduce the total power consumption. Execute Disable Bit This item appears only for certain processors with the Execute Disable Bit (XD bit) feature. When set to [Enabled], this item allows the processor to prevent data pages from being used by malicious software to execute code and provide memory protection. Virtualization Technology This option enables or disables the additional hardware capabilities provided by Virtualization Technology. AW8D 3-15 EIST Function This item appears only for certain processors with the EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) Function. When set to [Enabled], EIST will dynamically switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to optimize the power and performance balance of the processor and system based on demand. Back to Advanced BIOS Features Setup Menu Hard Disk Boot Priority This item selects the hard disks booting priority. By pressing <Enter> key, you can enter its submenu where the hard disks detected can be selected for the booting sequence to boot up system. This item functions only when there is the option of [Hard Disk] in any one of the First/Second/Third Boot Device items. First Boot Device / Second Boot Device / Third Boot Device / Boot Other Device Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the [First Boot Device], [Second Boot Device], and [Third Boot Device] items respectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according to the sequence of the drive selected. Set [Boot Other Device] to [Enabled] if you wish to boot from another device other than these three items.
