Getting into the Bios

I want to do some tweaking in the bios but have not found the right key to get in. It does not seem to be the "Delete" or "F11" keys. How to you access it?

Thank you Daniel that worked great!

No, not on the first revision i440s as the Core Duo processor is only 32-bits. You should be able to on the new revision machines with the Core 2 Duo processors that will begin shipping in volume at the end of the month. That said, I see absolutely no reason why you would want to. There is no inherent advantage to running the 64-bit version of Windows on these tablets for a number of different reasons.

1. The major advantage to running a 64-bit OS is the ability to utilize more memory. You can't install enough RAM in these Tablets (or any other brand or model of Tablet PC or most any laptop for that matter) to take advantage of this feature. As most benchmarks have shown, you need at least 8 GB of RAM to see any tangible, real-life benefit.
2. Not enough application support. Almost nothing is written specifically for 64-bits yet, except some math and CAD/3D applications and Tablet PCs aren't geared to running those apps anyway.
3. Poor driver support. Many peripherals still don't run reliably (if at all) in 64-bit Vista. Many even cause the OS to become unstable.
4. Even poorer performance than 32-bit Vista. Theoretically, it should be faster, but many reliable third party organizations have shown repeatedly that pretty much nothing runs faster in 64-bit Vista than in 32-bit Vista (again with the possible exception of some math and CAD apps and even then mostly only when rendering).
5. Stability issues. At least for now, 64-bit Vista is not as stable as 32-bit Vista. Even when running Vista with SP1.

With all the above in mind, for now, we will not be selling the Sahara Slate PCs with 64-bit Vista, nor will we be supporting it if you plan to upgrade to it yourself. Of course we will be monitoring the progress of 64-bit Vista (since many of us are tech geeks our selves here at TK) and will reevaluate the decision in the future.

Personally, I'm waiting before jumping on the Windows 64-bit bandwagon, and I have been chomping at the bit for a few years now for 64-bit computing to be a viable reality. As I have grown more towards being productive as I get older as opposed to being cutting edge, I feel we need to wait a bit longer... at least on the Windows platform.
