Abstract
The present invention is a computer motherboard with a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) capable of built-in configuration display, characterized in that the BIOS includes a first means and a second means. The first and second means are code internally provided in the BIOS and executable by a CPU of the computer motherboard in an execution environment preset by the BIOS. The first means enables acquisition of CPU configuration data stored on the CPU and configuration data for displaying the CPU. The second means enables acquisition of memory module configuration data stored on at least a memory module and configuration data for displaying the memory module. After the computer motherboard enters a BIOS setup utility, a user selects an option of execution of the first or second means to execute CPU and memory configuration display without using an operating system.
