4.5.3.9 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.

4.5.3.10 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.
