BIOS
When you first turn the computer on, you are
instantly greeted by the above splashscreen. The P5E3 Premium has
a new feature called Express Gate. Using your mouse, you can
select to get on the Web, Skype, enter the BIOS, boot to OS or shutdown.
It's pretty cool that you have mouse function as soon as the computer
starts. If you chose to do nothing, after 10 secs it will continue
to load into the OS as normal. 10secs is the default time, but in
the BIOS you can adjust that time. We'll talk about Express Gate
later on, right now let's talk about the BIOS.

Loadline Calibration is something that's fairly new. It helps
eliminate voltage Droop to the CPU. It
ensures stable and optimal CPU voltage under heavy loading. It helps overclockers enjoy the motherboard's ultimate OC capabilities and
benchmark scores. If there is a
setting that you're not familiar with, please do some research on it
before you start playing with the settings.
