put finger to keyboard and composed:

Actually, if you want to hot flash (a "not for the faint of heart" method to
recover a bad flash), you'll need to set the BIOS to cacheable in order to
pull the BIOS chip out while it's running.


I think you may be confusing "BIOS caching" with "BIOS shadowing".
AFAIK, all modern BIOSes are automatically shadowed in RAM. This is
because the code is compressed and needs to be expanded into RAM
during the POST and at boot time.
