Default Ultimate BIOS Tweak Guide (Maximum PC)

Here is a good guide for tweaking BIOS settings for those that still dont quite understand it all. Courtesy of Maximum PC (Minimum BS ). It does a pretty good job of covering the basics so hopefully some find it useful. It has some AMD overclcoking info as well.

It seems a daunting task at first but is rather easy. Eventually it becomes second hand, lol.

Sweet, thanks. Coming from S939 to a L775 added quite a few options I'm clueless about, going to read that!

Great guide, I learned about strapping, which I literally had no idea about. Good find. I think I'll have to get back into my BIOS and see how high I can go now...I'm feeling 450FSB at the least. :P

I thought this guide was pretty informative, but I guess there are too many overclocking guides already floating around here.
Good luck with your 450FSB venture

I read their little guide. They don't really go into much detail. I felt like they were aiming to educate the completely clueless. I'm looking for something rather in-depth that tells me what every little thing in my BIOS does.
