These three BIOS settings:
Video BIOS Shadow
System BIOS Cachable
Video RAM Cachable
(on a Shuttle AK31v2.0/WinXPHE/512mb ddrRAM).
Anyone have any idea as to why I notice no difference when any of these are either enabled or disabled?? Maybe I'd have to run some detailed benchies, but any suggestions which settings to use? Any input greatly appreciated.

* shrug* I know you are supposed to disable them all before you do a proper flash of the bios.

Maybe I'd have to run some detailed benchies, but any suggestions which settings to use? They won't do anything of consequence for you these days. Back in the old days (when we hand-cranked our PCs) it helped, but in the time of 2Ghz (microwave!) CPUs and DDR/RDRAM, it's a joke to think that these items will help.

That's what I thought, since nothing happened either way. Thanx:t .
