Hi, I was wondering if it's feasible to set up a dual boot with different BIOS configurations—like one with my overclocked settings and another with system defaults. I'm using a motherboard that doesn't support UEFI Bios, and I haven't found any information about this online. I thought it would be convenient instead of switching through BIOS each time.

A few boards include two, though it's meant as a backup. It doesn't really add much value beyond that because a profile handles the same function.

If there is, I'm not familiar with it. Regardless of the method used, you'd need to restart each time you switched between them, which wouldn't offer any real benefits.

It was just a suggestion I thought might be interesting if it came to be. In response to Leaps though not necessarily. If you were using an AMD CPU I'm sure someone could come up with a boot system that uses overdrive to adjust settings (all still theoretical at this point). Plus, it wouldn't really help you if you don't like going into BIOS every time you want to change the profile. Still, it could be a cool project or idea someone might develop later.
