Sorry, dude, but if what you want to change on each PC is a setting in the BIOS then you'll need to do it manually on each PC.

Memory sticks and networks are only be recognised after the power on self test and the loading of the BIOS, and it's the BIOS you need to change.

Answer 4

While not familiar with Dells, I know many PC's allow you to build a bootable disk that can be used to capture the BIOS/CMOS settings from one system and use that disk to replicate the setup to other systems.  You have to go to each system the first time, but after that you can use the WOL and a management utility to propagate upgrades.
