Hi, all!

How does one go about messing around with the settings in BIOS/CMOS?

The manual that came with my PC is of little help - I figure they thought everyone would want to just stay in a Windows, etc., etc.

Typically you hit either F1 or Del just after the computer posts on bootup.

If you dont know what youre doing be careful.

Aye, the BIOS is tricky if you dont know what your doing. (Be careful!!!!!!) Normally you hit Del or F1 (Sometimes Escape) right after your RAM stops counting on startup. (If you have one of those "corporized" computers with a computer boot-up loading screen ie. a Sony you have to hit whatever the screen tells you for setup. I hate "corporized" computers) If you need to know what a setting does just ask. I know what most of them do off the top of my head.

I managed to access the BIOS setup program but the bit I'm looking for (disabling the external cache) is nowhere to be found.

This is driving me crazy.
