So I'm pretty sure this question will be ignored but I wanted to try anyway! I'm not incredibly computer-literate, but I am trying hard to learn. I was wondering if anybody would be so kind as to summarize what's on my Advanced BIOS screen, as I do not understand what many of these options are. Just a simple few sentences that tell me what each option does, in plain english, would be great. I'm not planning on actually changing any of these settings, but as I have said I am trying to learn more. Here are my settings and options on my Dell: Summary screen: [Disabled] QuickBoot Mode: [Enabled] Intel (R) SpeedStep: [Enabled] Virtualization: [Enabled] Integrated NIC: [Enabled] USB Emulation: [Enabled] External USB Ports: [Enabled] USB PowerShare: [Enabled] USB Wake Support: [Disabled] SATA Operation: [AHCI] other option: ATA eSATA Ports: [Enabled] Adapter Warnings: [Enabled] Function Key Behavior: [Function Key First] other option: Multimedia Key First Charger Behavior: [Enabled] Wireless Turbo Mode: [Enabled] Thank you in advance for anybody willing to help me understand what I'm looking at, haha. :)

If you go to the support website of the motherboard, or brand name system, and join the hardware forum for you make, model, and series, these items can be accurately explained as they pertain to your particulad hardware. I have found the hardware forums to be very helpful because you are dealing with other people using the same hardware and the expeirenced users are more than happy to provide you with assistance. The primary reason for going to the hardware forum is although some of the settings are somewhat generic, there are other settings that are very specific to the particlular hardware. Plus, the BIOS s not a Windows 7 software operating system related item.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
