mostly when you buy a PC from a big manufaturer like HP they put their own limited version of the BIOS over the Acutual Bios.
best bet would be to unplug your PC and locate the small battery (about the size of a penny and 3-4mm deep) on your motherboard...remove this taking care not to touch both the top and bottom of it at the same time. Then wait for 5 minutes or so and replace it..
This will flush the Bios on the motherboard back to Factory settings.
However it will only change the bios, not anything in your OS.
Can you play sentence on a netbook?
I'm pretty sure you can play World of Warcraft on any device that has internet connection and the memory space to download it, I'd be careful though because WoW is a HUGE download and may overload your netbook.
What is the difference between a low density network module and a high density network module?
Many only consider SPEED when purchasing memory and often neglect an important fact that memory DENSITY is actually even more important!
So why memory DENSITY is so important? Is it related to your system when upgrading? The answer is YES!
If your system is designed for accepting DDR (Double Data Rate) memories of 184pin DIMM (usually desktops) or 200pin SODIMM (usually laptops) built, for your system to fully recognise 1GB capacity per memory slot, you need to use 'Low Density - 64Mx8 config' 1GB module. If you use 'High-Density - 128Mx4 config' 1GB module, your PC may only recognise it as HALF the size at 512MB or most of the time it will not work.
How to tell if your 1GB module is a low or high density module?
- All low density 1GB modules are made with 16 chips (8 chips on each side) using 64Mx8 device.
- All high density 1GB modules are made with 16 chips (8 chips on each side) using 128Mx4 device.
High Density module is by far much slower than Low Density module at same speed rating say PC3200/DDR400. A lot of users have fallen into attractive CHEAP PRICE trap by High Density module sellers and have complained that they are either VERY SLOW and/or will not run at all and sellers won't accept return!
High density modules are FAR CHEAPER, less than half the price when compare with low density modules and hence high density modules will NOT work on 90% of today's PC chipsets that require and can only use 'Low Density - 64Mx8 config' 1GB modules.
In summary:-
- LOW DENSITY modules have 100% compatibility with ALL systems and ALL chipsets.
- HIGH DENSITY modules only have 10% compatibility and are VERY SLOW.
However 90% of eBay are plagued with High-Density 1GB modules at very low price, and you will be wasting your precious time and money having to return those high density 1GB modules to your seller for refund. So AVOID those 'High-Density - 128Mx4 config' 1GB modules which is usually UNBRANDED and is NO NAME!

Since you are using this tech for a business, Might I suggest instead, Windows 7 Professional for the following reasons,
1). Networking with Windows 7 Professional Is far simpler than in Vista. This will be an advantage when it comes to networking your 6 computers together.
2). When a company releases a brand new Operating system there will always be issues the manufacturer must sort out. In order to run Vista properly, you will need to download things called service packs. These are essentially updates which fix these new bugs. However with Windows 7 Professional, even the as yet unserviced operating system is superior to the serviced vista operating system.
3). When purchasing anything to do with computers, a buyer must always ask the following questions, "Is the product reliable?", "Is it capable of performing more than what I require?" Windows 7 Professional ticks both of these boxes. . .
4). Now lets forget for a moment which version of windows you are planning on using (which I most strongly advise should be Windows 7 as opposed to Vista), The Microsoft Corporation release all of these different versions of their operating systems so as to cater to the perceived needs of their customers. What this means is that they anticipate several types of buyers to go for their operating systems from the novice to the professional. The below is a comparison of the two which we are concerned with at present (i.e. the basic and professional editions),
Windows Basic Editions (aka Windows home basic)
The basic editions are essentially aimed at people who might use only a hand full of computers on a home network, i.e. the elderly, young families for homework and the weekly banking.
Really the basic editions of windows are not what you want to use for a small business's. The OS just was not built for that intention.
Windows Business Editions (aka Windows professional)
Windows Professional targets small businesses which may need to operate on a larger network. For example, you may have say 4 desktop computers in an office and have two laptops which you may need to be able to connect to your network from a remote work site. The professional editions are also designed with a greater effort put towards the security of the files stored on them. This includes the option of encrypting your files (essentially this means that only people privy to a particular password will be able to view files).
Operating systems are a very personal thing and when deciding upon which one is best for you. If I knew more about the nature of your business I could be of a greater help. i.e. what is the nature of your business (are you editing graphics, how important is the security of your files and will you need to be able to connect to a network from remote locations, really the more info the better)
My final words of advice to you are these, If you are dead set on using a Windows Vista operating system, then the Professional edition is the one to get. HOWEVER, It is my whole hearted belief that if you do that then you will most definitely regret it. . .
Were I in your position, I would use the far superior Windows 7 Professional Operating system because you'll get far more out of the operating system, with far fewer issues than you would encounter with vista. If the cost worries you, then you should look into volume licencing. This means that you'll pay x dollars for a disk of windows 7 professional which can be used on multiple computers. If that doesn't appeal to you then the below is a comparison of the standard prices of the operating systems discussed in this answer.
Windows Operating system Edition Price (USD)
Windows Vista Basic $239.99
Business/professional $299.99
Windows 7 Basic $199.99
Business/professional $299.99
As I have previously stated, Windows 7 Professional (which is also known as Windows 7 business) is what I recommend that you purchase.
