So, I would like someone to unlock this bios if possible and to ad option for:
1. Enabling more than 8mb memory allocation for GMA500 GPU (which is system default).
2. Enable overclocking possibilities if it is possible (CPU, memory bus, GPU etc...).

If something more is needed, please do post here. More memory to the GPU could revive this older netbook.
Can anyone tell me did i post at right theme? Is moding of mini 10 bios even possible?
Are there any guides available for "do it yourself" modding?
