Setting the System and Video BIOS Options
Your computer’s shadow RAM feature copies the contents of
your system and video BIOS ROM (and any external BIOS
ROM you may have installed) into RAM so the computer can
perform certain operations faster.
Your computer enables shadow RAM automatically. However,
there are two SETUP options you can use to control the
memory addresses your computer uses for shadow RAM:
On-board video BIOS location and shadow
RAM
areas.
Your video BIOS ROM is located at memory address C000h
(default setting) so you can use your computer with AT
compatible software. If you want to use PS/2 compatible
software, change
On-board video
BIOS
locationto
address
E000h.
If you want to control the RAM address areas your computer
uses for shadow RAM, you can enable or disable shadow RAM
for up to twelve 16KB address areas. You may need to do this if
you install an option card, such as a SCSI card, that locates its
RAM in one or more of these areas
