Any idea what the settings can actually change?
A crapload of things. ;->
A20 control, memory mappings above 1M, 16M, 64M, 1G, 4G, PCI bus control/mapping, ACPI features/defaults, etc..., etc..., etc...
As someone who regularly had issues loading OS/2 and NT on typical PC systems in the '90s, I quickly started to prefer Phoenix BIOS over AMI or Award.
Tyan's use of Phoenix ServerBIOS is why I prefer them, and they are very quick to deal with issues on new platforms -- of which Opteron quickly presented early on (regardless of OEM ;-).
