PCI IRQ Sharing
Setting this parameter to Yes allows you to assign the same IRQ to two different devices. To disable the feature,
select No.
If there are no IRQs available to assign for
the remaining device function, we
recommend that you enable this parameter.
VGA Palette Snoop
This parameter permits you to use the palette snooping feature if you installed more than one VGA card in the
system.
The VGA palette snoop function allows the control palette register (CPR) to manage and update the VGA RAM
DAC (Digital Analog Converter, a color data storage) of each VGA card installed in the system. The snooping
process lets the CPR send a signal to all the VGA cards so that they can update their individual RAM DACs. The
signal goes through the cards continuously until all RAM DAC data has been updated. This allows the display of
multiple images on the screen.
Some VGA cards have required settings for this
feature. Check your VGA card manual before
setting this parameter.
Graphics Aperture Size
This parameter specifies the graphics aperture size. The default setting is 64 MB.
Plug and Play OS
When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS initializes only PnP boot devices such as SCSI cards. When set to No,
BIOS initializes all PnP boot and non-boot devices such as sound cards.
