PNP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play)
feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows
I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when
communicating with its special components. This section covers some very
technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users
should make any changes to the default settings.
Plug and Play Aware O/S
When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting
(VGA, IDE, SCSI). the rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating
system like Windows 98/2000/ME. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the
PnP cards. so select YES if the operating system is Plug and Play aware.
Primary Graphics Adapter
This item specifies which VGA card is your primary graphics adapter. Settings:
PCI and AGP.
