Advanced chipset features
The
advanced chipset features screen strikes fear into most everyone, because it
deals with extremely low-level chipset functions. Avoid this screen unless a
high-level tech (such as a motherboard makers support tech) explicitly tells
you to do something in here.
Pnp/pci configurations
All CMOS
setup utilities come with menu items that are for the most part no longer
needed, but no one wants to remove them. Pnp/pci configurations is a perfect
example. Plug and play (PnP) is how devices automatically work when you snap
them into your PC. PCL is a type of slot used for cards. Odds are very good
you’ll never deal with this screen.
Exiting and Saving Settings
Of course,
all CMOS setup provide some method to save and exit without saving. Use these
as needed for your situation. Exit without saving is particularly nice for
those folks who want to poke around the CMOS setup utility, but don’t want to
mess anything up. Use it!
The CMOS setup utility would meet all
of the needs of a modern system for BIOS if manufacturers would just stop
creating new devices. That’s not going to happen, of course, so let’s turn now
to devices that need to have BIOS loaded from elsewhere.
Option ROM and Device Drivers
Every
piece of hardware in your computer needs some kind of programming that tells
the CPU how to talk to that device. When IBM invented the PC more than a
quarter century ago, they couldn’t possibly have included all of the necessary
BIOS routines for every conceivable piece of hardware on the system ROM chip.
How co
Every
computer running a windows operating system requires occasional optimization to
keep the system running snappily, ongoing maintenance to make sure nothing goes
wrong, and troubleshooting when the system doesn’t work correctly. Not that
long ago, windows had a bad rap as being difficult to maintain and challenging
when troubleshooting problems. That’s no longer true. Microsoft used its
decades of experience with operating system to search for ways to make the
tasks of maintaining and troubleshooting less onerous. They’ve done such a good
job with the latest versions of windows that, out of the box, they are easy to
optimize and maintain, although troubleshooting-and all operating systems share
this-is still a bit of a challenge.
