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 RAMDAC (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 RAMDACs. The
signal goes through the cards continuously
until all RAMDAC data has been updated.
This allows the display of multiple images
on the screen.
Note: Some VGA cards require specific
settings for this feature. Check your VGA
card documentation before setting this
parameter.

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.
Note: Set this parameter to Yes only if
your operating system is Windows 95/98 or
Windows 2000.
No
Yes
Reset Resource
Assignments Set this parameter to Yes to avoid IRQ
conflicts when installing non-PnP or PnP
ISA cards. This clears all resource
assignments and allows BIOS to reassign
resources to all installed PnP devices the
next time the system boots. After clearing
the resource data, the parameter resets to
No. No
Yes
