There is the CMOS memory on the mainboard which can be used to store the system
settings. In case that you don't know how to use the Award BIOS setup program to
select the settings, you may use this field to load the optimized default which is defined
in the system BIOS. Basically, the optimized default is chosen by the factory and it will
give a series of parameters to make sure the best reliability and performance.
If you lost the CMOS data or you don’t know how to complete the setup procedure, you
may use this option to load the Optimized default values from the BIOS default table.
The optimized default value is the suggested setting which will give the best reliability
and also the good performance.
Incase that the CMOS data is corrupted, or if you made some CMOS setting and found
that the PC system becomes very stable, then you may try to load the optimized default
value and the CMOS will be changed to its default setting.
