AFAIK they should be OFF.  Apparently they are holdovers from DOS days when 
it was necessary to cache some parts of memory b/c DOS couldn't do it 
efficiently enough.

For now, I believe all windows versions don't use or reference the bios at 
all.

I presume linux is the same.  However I know that those settings will slow 
your computer in windows a lot if they are on.
