Asset ID
This option allows your computer to be scanned by
various radio frequency emitting devices supplied by
independent companies. Asset ID is intended for use only
with Radio Frequency equipment that meets ANSI/IEEE
C95.1 1992 RF Radio Frequency Limits.
Enabling this option causes POST to notify the user each
time an asset control violation occurs.
Advanced Setup
If you select Advanced Setup from the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, you
can view and, in some cases, change settings for advanced hardware features,
including ROM shadowing, PCI control, and Plug and Play Control. These settings
must be configured correctly; otherwise, your computer might malfunction.

Cache Control
Cache State
Cache Size
The Cache Control menu shows how much cache memory
is installed and lets you enable or disable its use.
Cache memory is special buffer storage that holds
frequently used instructions and data, and works faster
than main memory. With cache memory enabled, most of
your programs will run faster. If you run programs that
require slower speeds, you can disable cache memory to
slow down your computer.
ROM Shadowing
The ROM Shadowing menu shows which system devices
are using read-only memory (ROM) shadowing. With
ROM shadowing, your computer stores data from the
specified device in random access memory (RAM).
Because your computer can access data in RAM faster than
it can access data from ROM, programs run faster when
ROM shadowing is enabled.
If you install an adapter that has its own ROM, you can
enable the ROM shadowing option for that adapter to
speed up its performance.
Note:
The ROM Shadowing option might not work on
adapters that use memory-mapped I/O, such as
network adapters.
