I can't find a way to open the CMOS on my HP Pavilion model # 6573Z I've tried all the " F " keys and some other key combinations, but all I can pull up is the BIOS, not the CMOS.

The CMOS is the portion of the BIOS chip that has values that can be changed. The BIOS portion can only be changed by flashing a different BIOS version. The two terms are frequently used interchangeably. So, you are in the right place and just don't know it. What are you trying to do?
In the book I am studying, it states that if I Increase the amount of ram on my PC that CMOS may report a memory size error, and give me the opportunity to save the new changes to CMOS. When I open the setup screen is the CMOS each item on the screen, and would the change in the amount of ram be shown there giving me the choice to save the change?
