Hi,
I've been looking around here in these forums, and I see there is good advice for various mobo BIOS settings. I haven't found my own GA-MA78GM-S2H ver 1.1DDR2-1000 CL5-5-5-15 Dual; previous the BIOS showed this as CMOS base memory 640K, extended memory 7934Mvideo card (yet). I want to see how well the 780G chipset's well-rated integrated Radeon HD3200 graphics unit works first. (No gaming; lots of multitasking; lots of looking at quite a few thousand .JPGs.)
For the time being, no passwords are needed. No kids; secure location; no business applications.
I do like the idea of setting up some profiles. (Such as Safe, Best Now, and Work in Progress.)
Later I'll be looking for much more detailed info for a much more refined BIOS. But what is recommended to let me get XP 64 on?
Oh. And one very easy question: I hate holding in the Power Button for 4 seconds. When I'm working on things, I prefer to use the rear On/Off button at the back of the PSU. There is nothing wrong with doing things this way until I have an OS on, is there?
Thanks for any ideas.
