Determine Readiness
Contact the manufacturer of your PC for specific information
about its hardware readiness. Most manufacturers have detailed
information on their Web sites for consumers to learn about the
status of their computer's clock (RTC) and BIOS.
Listed below are handy links to the Web sites of several major
computer manufacturers:
The PC Y2000
Alliance, which includes many leading PC
manufacturers and BIOS suppliers, has made the hardware portion of
that process simpler. With broad cooperation, the Alliance has
defined hardware compliance, and provided help to users via the new
web site. This web portal provides the information, assessment, and
remediation tools needed to achieve Year 2000 hardware readiness.

Strategy/Implement
If your PC hardware is not year

choosing to do nothing, to update the BIOS with a special software
program, or to manually reset your system clock after the New Year.
