 <dt><b>Hardware Prefetch:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  This BIOS option allows the enabling/disabling of a processor mechanism 
  to prefetch data into the cache according to a pattern-recognition algorithm
  In some cases, setting this option to Disabled may improve performance. 
  Users should only disable this option after performing application benchmarking 
  to verify improved performance in their environment.

 <dt><b>Adjacent Sector Prefetch:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  This BIOS option allows the enabling/disabling of a processor mechanism 
  to fetch the adjacent cache line within a 128-byte sector that contains the 
  data needed due to a cache line miss.
  In some cases, setting this option to Disabled may improve performance. 
  Users should only disable this option after performing application benchmarking 
  to verify improved performance in their environment.

 <dt><b>High Bandwidth:</b></dt> 
 <dd>Enabling this option allows the chipset to defer memory transactions and 
     process them out of order for optimal performance.</dd>
