I think what he means is:

It's intentional by design on newer motherboards and chipsets.

If you reset during a POST, the BIOS assumes your doing it because
something did not detect properly, or you have adjusted a FSB/multiplier
or voltage that could be detrimental and your system MAY not post if
those settings remain.

A lot of companies were having boards returned as 'faulty' that simply
had settings that were too far out of specification for the users
hardware to POST correctly.

He thinks that users should have an option in the BIOS to save their
settings, and then if you reset during a post or have a power outage it
should reload those as the defaults.

(which is a bad idea IMHO, what happens when these same 'dummies' he
refers to FREEZE their shitty settings? Do not past POST, do not collect
~ 200 email)

|>THEN, when you click SET BIOS DEFAULTS ,the FREEZE bit sets to FALSE.

Uhmm, no, when you click SET BIOS DEFAULTS, the BIOS SHOULD SET TO
DEFAULT. I can see how english may not be your first language, but that
feature can stay doing exactly what it does, thank you very much.

(regression is more like it)

Its a concept, not really all that amazing.

Ah Ha! I knew you couldnt butcher english that easily with just your hands.

Obviously wants us to look at something.

Oh wait, he doesnt mean us, he wants someone else.

Thats because ASUS makes quality boards, always has, always will

I hope, at least until the CPU/GPU/MB/Flash storage can get squeezed
onto a single chip Then I'm selling my soul for one, unless PC-Chips
makes it (eeep)
