Optimizing the BIOS Settings

BIOS is a gathering place for all the hardware components on the computer configuration. By organizing such a manner or with mengoktimalkannya, your PC will be faster and more stable.
Most BIOS can be activated by pressing the Del key when the computer is booting. And optimization of the case which we will study in this section is an example of configuration using the AWARD-BIOS that is not too different from the configuration on the AMI-BIOS.
Some point optimization can be done to improve the performance of your computer are as follows:

Setting to save time when start the PC.

1. To shorten the waiting time startup, go to Advanced BIOS Feature configuration and reset the points contained therein as follows:

• Quick Power-On Self Test Enabled.

•  Boot up floppy seek-Disabled.

•  Video BIOS shadow-Enabled.

•  Port IDE unused - None.

       Based on the study conducted CHIP magazine issue of April-May 2001, the arrangement was diatad     will speed up boot time of 119 seconds for the default settings until the 41 seconds for this configuration setting.

2.   Setting to optimize device

S    Setting to optimize the configuration of devices are Advenced Chipset Features. Some point Yanga will improve performance include:

•    Enabled System BIOS Cacheable. Options enabled in this configuration, it means to move from ROM BIOS CACE slow to a fast CPU.

SD RAM Cycle length - 2. Configuration section serves to the needs of the data transfer. Setting 2, making the transfer will be faster than if you use RAM 3 but without brand, will quickly use oversized two settings, a good RAM PC 100 biasanay no problem with setting 2.




      3.Settings for saving energy
  You want more saving your electricity bill each month? If yes, maybe the power management settings in the BIOS setup can do little to save energy in your home. Perform some point the following settings:

• ACPI S3 suspend-Type. There are four choices of configurations, namely S1, S2 or S3. S1 activate sleep mode. S2 made ​​the two biggest components of the power consumption of the hard disk for Sleep and monitor. S3 and S4 mode almost the same sleep mode when the PC and PC sleep mode, it hides all the information from the card to the processor from a variety of living RAM.jadi only RAM and 5 volt supply line to stand by. To then in a flash can be reactivated if needed. But keep in mind that not all types of PC components and configuration support. You can try and then choose the appropriate configuration.
• Off by Power Button Delay 4 sec. This setting is used to set up so you do not accidentally turn off the PC when it touched the power button.
