[Tech ARP] BIOS Option Of The Week - Errata 94 Option

Recommended Posts

 

 

Dear editor,

 

 

 

We have just posted the *BIOS Option Of The Week* *-* *Errata 94 Option*.

 

 

 

Quote : Since 1999, we have been developing the BIOS Optimization Guide,

affectionately known as the BOG. From a meager beginning of a single page,

it now covers over 440 BIOS options. As old BOG readers will know, we

started offering two editions of the BOG since Revision 8.0 - a simplified

edition and the complete edition.

 

 

 

Normally, the complete edition is only available to subscribers who help

sponsor the development of the guide through a small fee. However, that

changes today! From now on, we will post a BIOS option from the complete

edition of the BIOS Optimization Guide every weekend.

 

 

 

This week, we will be taking a look at the *Errata 94 Option** *setting.

Here's an excerpt :

 

 

 

*"When there's an instruction cache miss, the sequential prefetch mechanism

in affected processors may incorrectly prefetch the next sequential cache

line. This may cause the processor to hang. Affected 64-bit processors that

run 32-bit applications may end up executing incorrect code.

 

This bug affects the following processor families..."*
