Hi i will start with my PC specs.

Im wanting to sort out my bios and which to enable and not to enable. At the moment i have alted these settings starting in the M.I.T settings in the bios

That is all i have changed and installed all drivers and sofware what came with the PC. Is there anything else i cange or should not change in the Bios to improve even more?.

I have only recent changed the setting Hyper-Threading Technolgy to enabled and i do notice a difference in loading times which are better but do i need to alter anything else as well as other settings or not to improve my PC?.

Personally I just go into the BIOS and load defaults and that's it, except for special settings I need for functionality.

I never laod anytging off the CD that came with the system.  Everything was made when the motherboard was new and by now have all been updated several times since then.  Sometimes you even get beta software/drivers on the CD.

I never install the software either, it is usually bloatware and wastes resources on things I'll never use.

Best thing is to scan CD and see what items you'll need and then go go manufacturers website and download the latest versions.

Luck

ps, you may not need to enable video in the BIOS if you are using a discrete video card.
