Breaking Through The BIOS Barrier: The Definitive BIOS Optimization Guide for PCs
暫譯: 突破 BIOS 障礙：PC 的終極 BIOS 優化指南

Description:

"Adrian Wong is one of the few really devoted scholars in the field of computer hardware. He applies a rare scientific rigorousness to his work that makes it stand out among the usual stuff on the net. He is a real asset to the PC enthusiast."

—Jeremy Smith, ABIT Computer

"By far the best BIOS Guide there is."

—Steven Lynch, HardOCP.com

"The BIOS Optimization Guide is a one-of-a-kind resource that I refer to anybody who wants to tweak their computers to run the best. And I wouldn't refer others to something I wouldn't use myself. I've referred to the BOG countless times as I upgrade my BIOS or get a new motherboard. The in-depth explanations really let you know what each BIOS option means, and which settings these options yield the highest performance and stability."

—Brandom Hum, AllHardwareZone.com

"Adrian knows more about tweaking a BIOS than Bill Gates knows about Windows. Short and sweet: If you own a computer you need to know about the BIOS; and Adrian is flat-out the authority when it comes to understanding, configuring, or tweaking a computer's BIOS."

—Digital Dave, WinOSCentral.com

"The BIOS is the basic input–output system of any computer that defines how the individual parts of the hardware are interacting with each other. Many of the parameters are completely transparent to the user; however, there are others that are user accessible and allow customizing the performance depending on the individual needs and the choice of components in the system. What was a myth-surrounded part of any computer only some 5 years ago has been largely decrypted by now, mostly due to efforts coming from enthusiasts. Any guide like this will offer invaluable help not only as a reference, but also for troubleshooting of personal computers."

—Michael Schuette, LostCircuits.com

"If you ever wanted to know what you can do with your BIOS, Adrian has it covered. Being an admirer for more years than I can count, the BIOS Optimization Guide is a fantastic journey into the inner workings of a PC at the root level. It has taught me how to tweak my PC in a safe way and get the most out of my system. Period."

—David Kroll, ExtensionTech.net

"It is the one piece of the system that is powered continually—even when the computer is unplugged. It is the first program that runs on start-up. Without it, no operating system would install. It is the first component that requires configuration. It is the first feature that requires your attention. It is... THE SYSTEM BIOS. The very first procedure to be performed on a newly assembled computer system is to ensure that the system BIOS is up-to-date. This procedure in itself can be clouded in mystery and present some trepidation for the average user. Then comes the Black Art of BIOS configuration. Has the BIOS detected the hardware correctly? Is there some hardware that should remain disabled? What do each of the BIOS settings mean, and more importantly, what do they do? Whether you are planning to build a new system or merely upgrade an old one, it is advisable to have some knowledge of the system BIOS. The Definitive BIOS Guide from Rojak Pot represents one of the most complete resources for BIOS configuration currently available. Check it out!"

—Thomas Monk, Accelenation.com

"The BIOS Optimization Guide is a truly useful resource for those looking to get the most out of their systems. I often point people to the BOG to learn more about memory timings and what they mean."

—Sean Sinha, OCZ Technology

"95% of all Bios optimizations that I now know I learned from Rojak Pot's guide. And so did everyone else. If they tell you different, they are not telling the you the truth or they read it on a site that stole the information from his."

—Frank Trockel, Trainwrecker.com

"Whether you are an overclocking uber geek or a first-time computer user, Adrian's BIOS Optimization Guide is a must. I can truthfully say that 90% of what I have learned about BIOS optimization has been through the use of Adrian's guide. Why else would I refer to him as 'The King of the BIOS'?"

—Kevin Elliot, Hi-TechReviews.com

"Adrian has done the tech community a great service by making this guide. It has personally saved me time on both repairs and evaluations. With BIOS options as numerous as they are today, it's wonderful to have a one-stop-source to decipher them all."

—Nathan Warawa, GamingIn3D.com

"You know, I couldn't count the amount of times I've referred people to your BIOS Guideelit's very informative, and saves me the time of explaining why people should disable Video BIOS Shadowing, why Fast Writes isn't such a big deal for today's games, and much more." "Just wanted to say thanks for saving me time and also helping me out. (I learned a lot from it, too!) Keep up the most excellent work."

—Matt Burris, 3DGPU.com

"...this isn't so much a Knowledge base but a labor of love. Not only has this guide had a place in both Titch's and My Favorites for many years, but I'm really excited to see it still going after many, many years. Well done, Adrian. Keep up the excellent work."

—JohnL, The ModFathers.com

"Adrian Wong of Adrian's Rojak Pot has been building up his BIOS Guide since late 1999. Today, he hit version 6.0, and the guide is now comprehensive in its scope. It comes highly recommended from me due to the fact that BIOS optimizations can yield positive results in performance and compatibility for everyone. Adrian also goes into far greater detail than even your best motherboard manual and even debunks some "myths" that some manufacturers still propagate."

—Ryu Connor, Tech-Report.com

"This is one of the most comprehensive and user-friendly guides I have found to date. I was able to do various tweaks with my mem/cpu that increased my overall system performance by about 15%. Many of the BIOS tweaks will depend on your mobo and whether certain options are even available in your BIOS menu. However, I do recommend that even ppl that aren't familiar with working with the BIOS give it a go with this guide... Really helps to answer all your questions."

—James, TimSoft.com

"Some bookmarks occupy space in my Favorites folder just in case I need such a resource in the future, but others are frequent visits. I can easily see this one being a resource to which I refer often. This site contains very good explanations of the numerous configuration options you see in the BIOS. ...this truly is a link you'll want to keep around. This one is already sync'ed to my iPaq!"

—LockerGnome.com

"This is the most comprehensive BIOS Guide available. Just about every option in a modern BIOS is explained. The best performance setting is usually pointed out, and the explanations are easy to follow. A must for any overclocker wanna-be."

—Tim B., OCWorkbench.com

"I'd like to congratulate the author of the BIOS Optimization Guide. This is absolutely marvelous. I was looking specifically for advanced information on the AGP Aperture Size setting, and you guys have got TEN paragraphs on it."

—Sherman, Microsoft Support Services

「Adrian Wong 是電腦硬體領域中少數真正專注的學者之一。他對工作的科學嚴謹性非常罕見，使他的作品在網路上脫穎而出。他對於 PC 愛好者來說是一個真正的資產。」
— **Jeremy Smith**, ABIT Computer

「迄今為止最好的 BIOS 指南。」
— **Steven Lynch**, HardOCP.com

「BIOS 優化指南是一個獨一無二的資源，我會推薦給任何想要調整他們電腦以達到最佳運行效果的人。我不會推薦我自己不會使用的東西。在升級 BIOS 或更換主機板時，我無數次參考過 BOG。深入的解釋讓你真正了解每個 BIOS 選項的含義，以及這些選項中哪些設置能提供最高的性能和穩定性。」
— **Brandom Hum**, AllHardwareZone.com

「Adrian 對於調整 BIOS 的了解超過比爾·蓋茲對 Windows 的了解。簡單明瞭：如果你擁有一台電腦，你需要了解 BIOS；而 Adrian 在理解、配置或調整電腦 BIOS 方面絕對是權威。」
— **Digital Dave**, WinOSCentral.com

「BIOS 是任何電腦的基本輸入輸出系統，定義了硬體各個部分如何相互作用。許多參數對用戶來說是完全透明的；然而，還有一些是用戶可訪問的，允許根據個別需求和系統中組件的選擇來自定義性能。五年前，這部分電腦的神秘面紗已經被大多數愛好者解開。任何這樣的指南不僅提供了寶貴的參考，還有助於個人電腦的故障排除。」
— **Michael Schuette**, LostCircuits.com

「如果你曾經想知道你可以對 BIOS 做什麼，Adrian 都有涵蓋。作為一名崇拜者多年，BIOS 優化指南是一段深入 PC 根本運作的奇妙旅程。它教會我如何安全地調整我的 PC，並充分發揮系統的潛力。」
— **David Kroll**, ExtensionTech.net

「它是系統中唯一一個持續供電的部分——即使在電腦拔掉電源時也是如此。它是啟動時運行的第一個程序。沒有它，任何操作系統都無法安裝。它是第一個需要配置的組件。它是第一個需要你注意的特性。它就是……系統 BIOS。對於新組裝的電腦系統，第一個要執行的程序是確保系統 BIOS 是最新的。這個程序本身可能會讓普通用戶感到困惑和不安。接下來是 BIOS 配置的黑暗藝術。BIOS 是否正確檢測到硬體？是否有某些硬體應該保持禁用？每個 BIOS 設置的含義是什麼，更重要的是，它們的作用是什麼？無論你是計劃組建新系統還是僅僅升級舊系統，了解系統 BIOS 是明智的。Rojak Pot 的 Definitive BIOS Guide 是目前可用的最完整的 BIOS 配置資源之一。快去看看！」
— **Thomas Monk**, Accelenation.com

「BIOS 優化指南對於那些希望充分發揮系統性能的人來說，真的是一個非常有用的資源。我經常指導人們參考 BOG，以了解內存時序及其意義。」
— **Sean Sinha**, OCZ Technology

「我現在知道的 95% BIOS 優化都是從 Rojak Pot 的指南中學到的。其他人也是如此。如果他們告訴你不同的，他們不是在告訴你真相，或者他們是在某個偷取他資訊的網站上讀到的。」
— **Frank Trockel**, Trainwrecker.com

「無論你是超頻的極客還是第一次使用電腦的用戶，Adrian 的《BIOS 優化指南》都是必備的。我可以誠實地說，我學到的 90% BIOS 優化知識都是通過使用 Adrian 的指南。否則我為什麼會稱他為『BIOS之王』？」
— **Kevin Elliot**, Hi-TechReviews.com

「Adrian 為技術社群做了一件偉大的事情，製作了這本指南。它讓我在維修和評估上節省了很多時間。隨著今天 BIOS 選項的數量如此之多，擁有一個一站式資源來解讀它們真是太好了。」
— **Nathan Warawa**, GamingIn3D.com

「你知道，我無法計算我有多少次推薦人們參考你的 BIOS 指南，它非常有資訊性，讓我省去了向人們解釋為什麼應該禁用 Video BIOS Shadowing，為什麼 Fast Writes 對今天的遊戲不是那麼重要等等的時間。只是想說謝謝你幫我節省了時間，也幫了我很多。（我也從中學到了很多！）繼續保持優秀的工作。」
— **Matt Burris**, 3DGPU.com

「……這不僅僅是一個知識庫，而是一項愛的勞動。這本指南不僅在 Titch 和我的最愛中佔有一席之地，而且我真的很高興看到它在經過多年後仍然存在。做得好，Adrian。繼續保持優秀的工作。」
— **JohnL**, The ModFathers.com

「Adrian Wong 的 Rojak Pot 自 1999 年底以來一直在建立他的 BIOS 指南。今天，他達到了 6.0 版本，該指南的範圍現在非常全面。由於 BIOS 優化可以為每個人帶來性能和兼容性的正面結果，我強烈推薦這本書。Adrian 甚至比你最好的主機板手冊提供了更詳細的資訊，並且揭穿了一些製造商仍在傳播的『神話』。」
— **Ryu Connor**, Tech-Report.com

「這是我迄今為止找到的最全面且使用者友好的指南。我能夠對我的內存/CPU 進行各種調整，將整體系統性能提高了約 15%。許多 BIOS 調整將取決於你的主機板以及某些選項是否在你的 BIOS 菜單中可用。然而，我建議即使是不熟悉 BIOS 的人也可以試試這本指南……真的能幫助回答你所有的問題。」
— **James**, TimSoft.com

「一些書籤在我的最愛文件夾中佔據空間，以防我將來需要這樣的資源，但其他的則是經常訪問。我可以很容易地看到這個成為我經常參考的資源。這個網站對你在 BIOS 中看到的眾多配置選項提供了非常好的解釋。……這真的是一個你會想保留的連結。這個已經同步到我的 iPaq 了！」
— **LockerGnome.com**

「這是最全面的 BIOS 指南。幾乎所有現代 BIOS 中的選項都有解釋。最佳性能設置通常會被指出，解釋也很容易理解。對於任何想要超頻的人來說，這是必備的。」
— **Tim B.**, OCWorkbench.com

「我想祝賀 BIOS 優化指南的作者。這真是太棒了。我特別在尋找有關 AGP Aperture Size 設置的高級資訊，而你們有十段文字介紹它。」
— **Sherman**, Microsoft Support Services
