Have explanations about which settings are relevant to which OS. Many settings are ignored by Windows XP for example. Some backround about how the option came about is also good.

If you're going to try and contribute a major article to Wikipedia, at the very least learn how to spell.

You gotta love Microsoft's business ethics...

1994 October: IBM released OS/2 version 3.0, an operating system far superior to anything Microsoft had, or would have for years. IBM launched a major campaign to get software developed for it. Many major software houses signed up to port their applications, but nearly all had to drop OS/2 development when they read the NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) for the Windows95 development kit. If you were developing anything for OS/2, you could not participate in the Windows95 program. The NDA itself required total secrecy, so the reason everyone dropped OS/2 development was only rumored for years.

It was 3am and I wanted to quickly get it started before I forgot about it and then go to bed.

This is insanely hard you know....

DFI boards such as the DFI Ultra-D/SLI-D(R) needs their own little wiki. I don't think you can really do this and make it work

I'm not particularly surprised - you probably should have marked it as a stub, indicating that it was an unfinished article.

I am still learning the ways of the wiki and I did not know that. Prehaps you could resurect the article and make that your contribution to it?

Then jot it down in word. Get your information put down, and then publish an entry, not the other way around. I'm guessing people would rather make additions to entries, not correct non-finished ones. Just a thought.
