Re: 9. [New] Further BIOS Refinements

Mike,

1. HDD Acoustic Mode: This is the first time I've seen such an option. No idea which would be best, but I would guess B as drive runs slower meaning less power and vibrations.

2. I have this Enabled (default). I found any CPU BIOS changes didn't help (CPU's internal optimizations work best with mobo defaults).

3. I have mine on S1 - haven't tried S3. I'm not sure how this would help sound as it relates to how computer maintains suspend state. Will test it though.

4. Never seen that option - definitely try OFF.

Why don't you try the Biostar mobo - its $55. This way, you can disable Spread Spectrum which gives good improvements. All other parts should connect to this mobo. You need DDR2 400/533 RAM.
