Load Optimal Settings

If you select this item and press Enter a dialog box appears. If you press Y, and then Enter, the Setup Utility loads a set of fail -safe default values. These default values are not very demanding and they should allow your system to function with most kinds of hardware and memory chips.

Note: It is highly recommended that users enter this option to load optimal val- ues for accessing the best performance.

Load Best Performance Settings
