Part 1: know-how for do-it-yourselfers

man building the comp is easy but the bios config is the hard part.

**Wizzandabe** · 03-13-2003, 06:55 PM

i though when you buld the pc the bios is done already

**johnnytightlips2** · 03-13-2003, 08:53 PM

nah nah u still have to configure the bios to the hardware like the videocard, and partion the drives.

It depends on the motherboard. Some jumper-less motherboards like the Elite K7S5A have everything sorted already, but you need to make changes with many motherboards.
