A BIOS overview...
I've been trying to gain more knowledge about BIOS and maybe even unravel some of the mystery about the BIOS.
I've just sort of felt that the same rule applies with BIOS as with most other things "If it ain't broke don't fix it" same rule that applies for messing with the REG. ... although the REG you can back and in short you can un-do the screwup as in go back to a previous....

the BIOS on the other hand ... hmmmmm well I did find this info in here and I thought I would share it with all ... get some opinions and perhaps even some horror stories about messing around with the DREADED BIOS
