Last One To Post Wins [114]

Only putting 16gigs of memory in new rig, I wanted 32 gig, like this one, but it would have cost me over 500.00 for TWO 16 sticks !!!!

Those are just security settings if you want to password protect your bios .....at least that's what it looks like. I leave all mine off. Offers you different levels of password protection.

Last line on screen is new. I know about the password.

You might ask a Dell person .....never owned one. Sorry TC

Call Dell Tech support, they should be able to answer that one....:)

Will be interesting to see what Bios version this new rig has ......seeing how it is fresh from Asus. I'm not a fan of the security bios fixes.

TC, A lot of manufacturers use different terms for the same thing. No such thing as standardization. Could it just be what most call secure boot or CSM (compatibility Support Module) ?

Mike, the latest is 1003 which is the "Fix" for the security issues. Before that was 901,

Could be, but there are separate entries for secure boot and UEFI on the Boot or Advanced section. Not super important. Works fine, actually a little better. They did some more tweaks to the cpu MC.
