System BIOS Cacheable
When this option is set to Enabled, the contents of the F0000h system memory segment can be read from or
written to L2 secondary cache memory. The contents of the F0000h memory segment are always copied from the
BIOS ROM to system RAM for faster execution.
The settings are Enabled or Disabled. The <Optimal default settings> is Enabled. The <Fail-Safe default setting>
is Disabled.

The video ROM is not copied to RAM. The contents of
the
video ROM cannot be read from or written to cache
memory.
Enabled
The contents of C000h -
C7FFFh are written to the same
address in system memory (RAM) for faster execution.
Cached
The contents of the named ROM area are written to the
same address in sys
tem memory (RAM) for faster
execution, if an adapter ROM will be using the named
