PnP/PCI Configuration
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or
Personal Computer Interconnect, 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.
PNP OS Installed
This item allows you to determine install PnP OS or not.
The choice: Yes, No.
Reset Configuration Data
Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset
Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup
if you have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has
caused such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled .
Resource controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices.
However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are
using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95.
