BIOS Setting Definitions

[Bache]

8O Can anyone please point to a link where I can download and print for reference, all the modern BIOS settings terms/explanations of what the settings do, cautions, etc.

Some BIOS manuals and the help sections of the actual BIOS, do not explain fully or not at all :?

Thanks,

From harsh experience, I'm afraid they don't. The internals of BIOS's are proprietary, trade secrets, and there is often huge and undocumented debris in them to deal with bugfixes and workarounds for particular hardware.

In short, RTFM. In longhand, read the various BIOS bugfix docs for you bios at your MB's support site...

Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Same goes for you GPU... (not that you asked...)

Sort of what I said.... Just a bit more polite.
