Description Choice
Gate A20 option
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory
above 1 MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the
system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to Normal,
a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20.
Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves system speed,
particularly with OS/2 and Windows
Typematic Rate Setting
When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate
and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at
a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your
system. When Enabled, you can select a typematic rate and
typematic delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select
a typematic rate (the rate at which character repeats when
you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10,12, 15, 20, 24 or 30
characters per second.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select
a typematic delay (the delay before key strokes begin to
repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.

system boots or only when you enter setup. If you have set
a password, select whether the password is required every
time the System boots, or only when you enter Setup.
