Memory Size 

This item lets you allocate a portion of the 
main memory for the onboard VGA display 
application with three options of 
8/16/32MB.  

Primary 
Graphics 
Adapter 

This item indicates if the primary graphics 
adapter uses the PCI or the AGP bus.  The 
default AGP setting still lets the onboard 
display work and allows the use of a second 
display card installed in an AGP slot. 

Allocate IRQ 
to PCI VGA 

If this item is enabled, an IRQ will be 
assigned to the PCI VGA graphics system. 
You set this value to No to free up an IRQ.  

PCI IDE 
BusMaster 

This item enables or disables the DMA 
under DOS mode. We recommend you to 
leave this item at the default value.
