Init Display First
This option allows the user to determine which device will be first displayed
when the sytem boots up -- whether it is the device installed in the PCI slot or
the device intalled in the AGP slot. The settings are "PCI slot" and "AGP."
Quick Power-On Self Test
If enabled, this feature will speed up the POST (Power On Self Test) after the
computer is switched on. The settings are "Enabled" and "Disabled." If
"Disabled", the POST routine will remain in the normal speed.
Boot Up NumLock Status
If enabled, this feature sets the power on state for NumLock. The settings are
"On" and "Off."
Gate A20 Option
This option allows the user to determine whether the chipset or the keyboard
controller should have control over Gate A20. The settings are "Normal" or
"Fast." If set to "Normal", a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20.
If "Fast" is selected, the chipset will have control over Gate A20.
Typematic Rate Setting
Continual pressing of a key repeats that character onscreen at a rate pre-
determined by the keyboard controller. The key stroke repeating rate is called
the "typematic rate." If "Enabled", this option allows the user to set the
typematic rate of the system. If "Disabled", the user will not be allowed to set
the typematic rate and "Typematic Rate" and "Typematic Delay" will not be
displayed. The settings are "Enabled" and "Disabled."
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
If enabled, this option allows the user to set the number of times a key stroke
repeats itself in a second when the key is held down. The settings are "6", "8",
"10", "12", "15", "20", "24" and "30."
