BIOS settings for 7NJL6

bill the default settings should be loaded followed by optimum settings if
there is an option for that and leaving it at the selected defaults should
be fine for most purposes

use escd on auto
disable fast write...usually but check your vga instructions for whats best
for your agp card

lan boot off unless you want to access the pc remotely
agp apeture "usually" double that of the memory of your agp card
hard drive set to lba
