Thread: Optimizing the BIOS and Boot Process

Dozens of settings in the BIOS Setup configuration data are stored in the BIOS complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). Whether these settings reflect the actual hardware environment of your PC can make a difference in how quickly the system boots and performs. Chances are that there is little you can or should change, but a valuable feature that you do have, such as system caching or using the Quick POST (power-on self-test) process, could be disabled and should be enabled for optimum performance.
