area is made, BIOS will display a warning message on screen and beep.

DRAM (system memory). When the CPU requests data, the system trans-
fers requested data from main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster
access by the CPU. The settings enable/disable the internal cache (also
known as L1 or level 1 cache) and external cache (also known as L2 or level 2
cache). Settings: Enabled and Disabled.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
This allows you to enable or disable the ECC (Error-Correcting Code) feature
