Disclaimer
Although all efforts have been made to make sure all the
information in this guide (and others as well) are 100%
accurate,
it could still be
inaccurate for any number of reasons. Some manufacturers may
implement certain BIOS options differently from others. I
may have misinterpreted the descriptions given by the
manufacturers. As you know, most manufacturers provide
rather cryptic descriptions that could really mean anything!
Therefore, if
you spot any mistakes in this guide, please don't hesitate
in e-mailing me or posting your observations in the
forums. I appreciate any
help you can give in making this guide the ultimate resource
for BIOS optimization! :)
Plagiarism
Plagiarism has been a major problem for us. The BIOS
Optimization Guide has been ripped off so many times that I
have really lost count of the number of plagiarized guides
out there. Many plagiarizers are so daring (or lazy) that
they just copy the entire guide - lock, stock and barrel. Or
translate it into their native language. Other plagiarizers
are smarter. They modify the guide a little or just trim it
down so that it has the appearance of an entirely different
guide. But they all have one thing in common - they pass
this guide off as their own work. :(
Remember -
although I have spent countless hours and sleepless nights
working on this guide, all the information in this guide and
the rest of the site has been, still is and will always be
provided to everyone absolutely free of any cost or
obligation! Plagiarism isn't about money or freedom of
information. Plagiarism is about theft of credit.
It's a major problem for writers all over the world because
they deny the author the right to be recognized for his/her
work.
So, if you
happen to see an article similar to one posted here, please
help prevent plagiarism by e-mailing those involved (me and
the other "author"). Any help in eradicating plagiarism will
be greatly appreciated.
Translations
Although many people understand English, they may still prefer
to read in their native language. And there are many who
don't understand English well enough. I have received many e-mails about
this and I understand the need for the guide to be available
in other languages. However, I'm sorry to say that I can't
write in any language other than English and Malay.
To solve the
problem, I have actually given several foreign sites
permission to translate the guide. Unfortunately, there's
little synchronicity between these translated guides and the
original BIOS Optimization Guide. And some of these sites
(but NOT all!) have even stopped corresponding after posting
their translated guide. As such, it's very hard for me to
ensure that all these sites maintain a certain level of
quality in their translation.
Therefore,
I am now looking for people to help me translate the BIOS
Optimization Guide into other languages. This will allow
greater access to BIOS Optimization Guide. If you think you
can help me translate this guide into your native language,
please
let me know! Thanks!
