Secrets Of BIOS Tweaking

Sivar writes "While most enthusiasts are familiar with some settings that yield significant performance benefits, many other BIOS settings remain poorly described and may unknowingly play a crucial role in system performance and stability. Ars Technica has an excellent article describing some of the most obscure settings, useful not only for performance, but for tweaking stability and hardware compatibility as well."

  1. European Shitheads by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What enrages European assholes so much is the fact that Americans just don't give a fuck or care about the fact they hate us. In American eyes French, German, Dutch and English pussies are mere insects we could crush whenever we wanted to. Their hatred grows from a deep sense of envy and fear of our power. So just get over it European jerkoffs, you are insignificant and not even worthy of Americans scorn.

    You, sir, are an idiot. If there is adequate paper documentation, only the people who are comfortable tweaking their computers will take advantage of it.

    Ever notice how prevalent the phrase "RTFM" is? Ever had to answer some computer illterate person's questions, and noted that the answer was in the documentation?

    Most people don't read documentation, so if it has useful information in it, only the motivated people will have access to that information.
