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. Femme
