I used hardware testing software to test the hardware of my computer. Below
is the performance Tips:

Warning: Disabled host controllers are present. Check BIOS settings.
Tip: MPS 1.4 or later is recommended for MP systems. Check BIOS version.
Notice: SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate.
Tip: Some memory slots are free so the memory can be easily upgraded.
Warning: Large memory sizes should be made of Registered/Buffered memory.

What can I do for improving the effiency of hardware?

So what did the help say that was provided with this *unnamed* hardware
testing software?

"Disabled host controllers".
Why do you care? If your system is running they you aren't using those
drive controllers.

"MPS 1.4 recommended for MP systems".
Do you actually have multiple processors in your computer?

"SMBIOS/DMI info inaccurate".
Well, you'll have to check with the unnamed software's help, its web
page help, or its author as to how the author defined inaccuracies.

"Some memory slots are free".
This was really that tough to understand?

"Large memory sizes should be registered/buffered".
Yeah, if you want to spend lots more money on memory sticks. Again, if
your computer is running okay, why do you care? Did you actually read
the manual for your motherboard to see if it supports registered memory?
512MB 184-pin DDR SDRAM PC-3200 unbuffered for $40, or the same but
registered for $75? Are you really going to toss your old memory to buy
replacements?
