Re: How do you change "BIOS"?

Hi, Someone mentioned a few days ago about fixing the BIOS setting to increase FTP for F12000.I've heard of this before but how do I actually set it? Voddo Banshee 16mb if that makes a difference..... TIA!

The bios is the hidden system that starts up your computer and gets everything working until windows or dos can take over during the boot process. You acess the bios settings during the first few seconds of booting your computer by (usually) pressing the DEL key. But the BIOS is an INSANELY complicated area, some settings seem to make no difference but other changes can render your system useless. Please don't go mucking around the bios area until you have some idea what the changes will do...and that you've got some written file that shows you how to put things back in place if you happen to scramble things up. dave henrie GraDee wrote:

I dont think they meant that they changed the BIOS just to make F1 2000 run faster, but that they had the wrong settings to run their CPU at normal speed and they first noticed it when they played F12000 and it seemed too slow. They said that they also have a Motherboard and BIOS that allows him to easily overclock his CPU (make it run faster than recommended).

I dont know enough about overclocking to try it yet. I wouldn't try it unless you know what you are doing. You might get some info on it here: http://www.anandtech.com/index.html or http://www.tomshardware.com/ or news group alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt Lutrell GraDee wrote in message <8cl9ei$jte$[email hidden]>... >Yeah ok, but how do you do THAT? :-) > > >Lutrell <[email hidden]> wrote in message >news:vfeH4.157$[email hidden]...
