Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate A20 is a device
used to address memory above 1 Mbytes. Initially, the gate A20 was handled via a
pin on the keyboard. Today, while keyboards still provide this support, it is more
common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20.

Typematic Rate Setting
This determines if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled, continually
holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. In other
words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down. When the typematic rate is
enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then wait a moment, and, if the
key is still down, it will begin the report that the key has been depressed repeatedly.
For example, you would use such a feature to accelerate cursor movements with the
arrow keys.
