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. The default setting is Fast.
The choice: Fast, Normal.
