Your PC's BIOS enables your software and hardware to work together. But they can work together better―way better. If you want the best possible PC performance and stability, this book shows you exactly what to tweak, and how to tweak it.

 

Until now, most BIOS information was terse, incomprehensible...practically useless. Not anymore! Breaking Through the BIOS Barrier: The Definitive BIOS Optimization Guide for PCs reveals the secrets behind 200 of today's most important BIOS settings. You won't just learn what they're for: You'll learn exactly how to use them in both optimization and troubleshooting.
