    Yes. with a key combination. I was activate the asus logo with this method, but I do not remember this combination now.

    I want to activate, because i will change the agp aperture size.

    Thank you but that's not really what we're talking about here...

    We all know how to get into the BIOS...

    All we want to know is how to enable the hidden features of the BIOS (if any). ;)

    Ohhh...thats what your asking. Ok. I had a Gigabyte motherboard to where it had some hidden settings...holding down either CTRL or ALT and hitting I think like F8 or F2 or something enabled the menu for overclocking. That was on a desktop though.

    If there is not (hidden bios settings) then I my friends am hugely disappointed in Asus. Have purchased their motherboards in the past and was always some options available. Usually more then most. The thing is that the Asus notebooks are very bios limited. There are no adjustments of any kind really. Especially on the newer laptops. The barebones are not a Asus laptop persay but a collaboration of sorts. Well installed Bios 2.11 and still nothing. So Asus. Even if I don't use them can we get something included in the bios for tweaks..?

    Thank You & Goodnight
