Hmm, and good luck getting that right. In something like 15 years of messing with IBM-style personal computers, I've yet to see a manual for a motherboard that actually EXPLAINS the features/functions/options set in the BIOS they include. NB: "Here you can adjust options for your CPU" is not an adequate explanation. We need to know precisely what each individual option actually does, and likewise with the choices selectable for each option. And it's no good referring to instructions for similar-seeming BIOSes, we need precise information about what we're actually using. Even without Windows on a PC, it's still the world's crappiest designed product ever produced. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
