Answer the question ! Is this a homework assignment ? If so, shouldn't you have the intelligence to be doing such things as entering "basic BIOS functions" into Google search, rather than shouting "AROOOOOOGA", or is that what you generally find effective in life ?

If it isn't a homework assignment, I suggest that you enter "basic BIOS functions" into Google search. I quite like what that brings up from Phoenix's FAQ, as long as you ignore their hype for "FirstWare". Once you've read that and some of the other hits you'll be able to suggest to this forum what YOU think the 3 basic functions of the PC BIOS are and we'll correct you if we think you're wrong :wink:
