PCI IRQ Setting
Select
Auto
to let BIOS automatically configure the plug-and-play (PnP) devices
installed in your system. Otherwise, select
Manual.
NOTE Refer to your manual for technical information about the PCI card.
PCI Slots
When you set the PCI IRQ Setting parameter to
Auto
, these parameters specify
the auto-assigned interrupt for each of the PCI devices. If you set the PCI IRQ
Setting parameter to
Manual
, you need to specify the interrupt that you want to
assign for each PCI device installed in your system.
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
.
IMPORTANT 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.
IMPORTANT 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 system memory area reserved for Accelerated
Graphics Port (AGP). AGP is a new bus design that enables the system to
support 3D applications by speeding up the VGA bus and increasing the
bandwidth.
NOTE We recommend you to leave this parameter to its default setting.
