The manufactures do not want you to mess with the BIOS too much because you could accidentally mess something up, which they would have to fix. </p> <p>Now, that is not best buy's fault however, it is up to the manufacture to supply the manuals. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/help-with-memory#post-40096 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:25:28 +0000 whs 40096@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>At the BestBuy prices you cannot expect a book.
