Memory
You can not change any value in the Memory fields that are only for your information. The
fields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base
memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory.
RAM is the computer’s working memory, where the computer stores programs and data
currently being used, so they are accessible to CPU.
!
Base Memory: Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS operating
system and conventional applications use this area.
!
Extended Memory: Over the 1MB boundary.
!
Total Memory: Total memory available from the system.

Anti-Virus Protection [Enabled]
The AwardBIOS will monitor the boot sector to see if there is virus. If virus is found, the BIOS
will halt on the system and appears the following warning message.
! PBVA WARNING !
Paragon Boot Virus analyzer has
detected virus activity on hard disk.
We recommend you to press:
[Enter] Boot from clean disk
[C] Continue Boot
NOTE:
When enabling this item, the monitoring boot sector virus only happens at the
booting period. After entering the system, this function is disabled automatically. So you can
run any kind of program, such as many disk diagnostic programs, which attempts to access
boot sectors or the partition table of hard disk drive when it is running.
CPU Internal Cache/External Cache [Enabled]
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.
