Question BIOS settings for a ASUS A7V
Howdy! Im wonderin what would be the best BIOS settings for my MOBO? My specs are as follows:
1.4ghz T-bird
ASUS A7V 133
512mb Kingston RAM
IBM 60GXP 40gb
ATI Radeon 64mbVIVO
Soundblaster Live! X-Gamer5.1
Pioneer16xDVD
Plextor16x Burner

What would be the optimal BIOS settings for this setup. My priorities are gaming , and internet. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I've got the A7V, not the 133, but make sure you're RAM is set to 133, not 100, and up the CAS to 2--if possible. Turn off stuff like on-board audio, serial and parallel ports, if you don't need them. Try upping the AGP drive strength, but that's just a personal preference and not necessary.

Oh, yeah, overclocking can help (sure, let's OC an already hot CPU )

Heh. Have a good one. I'm gonna be upgrading my AMD rig shortly--well at least the mobo and ram. The PSU and CPU will have to come later, as I can't afford the whole thing at once, *sigh*
