Well, of the top of my head, I know that gigabyte has 'Optimized Settings' or of the equivalent that usually sets things to typical settings. If you are big on graphics and games, you can set the AGP Aperture to 256 MB if you have an AGP board. You can choose to disable some useless ports, such as the Serial and Parallel ports. You can set the optical and floppy drives to boot up first for future tasks..........
