Hey

I'm in the final tweaking steps for my laptop at the moment (its a Acer Extensa 6600)

I've created a new hardware profile for audio recording (disabled services & hardware etc)....

I was wondering whether you can change Visual effects (etc etc) as per hardware profile (ie different settings for each?) or is it a global thing?

If not would creating a new user account be of any benifit?

Also my BIOS is locked under the "advance" settings. How can I unlock them? BIOS Flash?

Heres what CPUZ says for some help.

Thanks
