My technical vocabulary is has quite a bit to be developed, so please bare with me whilst I try to explain the best I can.
In most, modern, BIOS's I see an option asking "Plug & Play OS: y/n". I've wondered would it be best to turn this on or off.
Some people say turn it on because it will free up the checks done during POST giving you a faster boot-time. Then let windows think about detecting all the necesssary pheripherals (sp?).
Some people state that BIOS is clever enough to detect quite a few things therfore taking the strain off an all ready 'bloated' peice of software that is XP.
Comments any-one please??
