4.11 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. Peripheral Component Interface is a system,
which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself, uses when communicating
with its own 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.
Selecting PnP/PCI Configurations on the main program screen displays this menu:
