BIOS Tools

Tools, tweakers and other things BIOS. Possibly the least understood part of a PC. Get the excellent book "The BIOS Companion" - "The book that doesn't come with your Motherboard" by Phil Croucher and make some sense of it!

NOTE:
Use these utilities at your own risk. If you corrupt your BIOS your PC will be unusable and you may have to purchase another BIOS chip, reflash your BIOS or send the chip away for reprogramming. Loosing the settings of the CMOS is less damaging, but again, use caution.
