600MB or 600GB? there's a huge difference

Hi visored1 🙂

I understood same as kkn and now second time I don't understand what you are asking...

the BIOS is not worth updating unless you have problems and the BIOS contains a fix for something.

have a look round the web...plenty of guides http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9243784/How_to_boost_Windows_8_performance

Are you asking to improve your computer speed? Try to run derfragment or disk clean up.

Run cleanup.
Reduce your pagefile size to a fixed size of 300MB.
Install an SSD and clone your drive.

Um, just enjoy it? 😛
