Sadly, this was found to be erroneous in some BIOS. The BIOS programmer had it reversed so the only way to sort out if it made any difference was to BENCHMARK it before and after.

With such gaffes, no one can tell you it actually does "this." One could tell you it "should do this", but not with absolute authority.

It seems there are two choices 0 and more than 1. If it's not 0 are there more possiblities than just 2?

Remember that I noted that some BIOS programmers gaffed that item. You still get to run the benchmarks because not all motherboards get these items fixed.

Can you say "quality?"
