when going into the bios i noticed that several things were disabled. My computer is not the fastest in the world but I feel like it should be better. The only thing I have is a printer that I use. There is not even a floppy drive installed.It takes forever to load webpages.
CPU- AMD-K6 (tm) -2/ CPU speed 500 MHz total memory 184MB bios version 00MV.20000915.1656
according to the specs that I have could anyone tell me if I should change anything in the bios. If so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

Ec well that wasn't exactly the answer I was hoping for but until others reply i will take your advice and read up more about the BIOS. Maybe a little to complicated to explain perhaps?
thanks for your time

Personally I did not find entering and navagating my way around the BIOS very hard at all ! I would recomend that anyone that wants to take a peak at their BIOS settings,to have a notebook handy and make a note of the factory settings in the CMOS and the other areas of the BIOS . I do agree B/4 you make any changes ,that you are sure of what you are doing and why ! LOL, Nick
