I need some input from computer savvy people regarding BIOS settings.

I downloaded the latest Radeon (64 DDR VIVO) drivers from this place and then noticed they had a page outlining what your BIOS settings should be to get the most from the video card. I started to make sure all of my settings matched but then noticed that the site says the 'video BIOS shadow' should be disabled, but in the BIOS screen it says it should be enabled to improve performance. Then I started to wonder whose right (I'm lost with some of those BIOS settings, I have no idea).

Could someone look here and see if there's anymore discrepancies?

Shadowing/caching video or system BIOS or RAM only helps performance in a pure DOS environment. If you are running Windows, shadowing/caching those things does nothing but use memory for no purpose. So those should be disabled unless you run only DOS programs outside of Windows.

I took a quick look at the link you provided and it all looks OK to me.
