Boot Up System Speed
Select High to boot at the default CPU speed; select Low to boot at
the speed of the ATX BUS. If you are using old software or certain
add-in peripherals you may need to use the Low system speed.
Typematic Rate Setting, Typematic Rate (Chars/sec),
and
Typematic Delay (Msec)
The Typematic Rate Setting enables or disables the Typematic Rate
and Typematic Rate Delay functions. The Typematic Rate (6, 8, 10, 12,
15, 20, 24, or 30 characters per second) and Typematic Rate Delay
(250, 500, 750, or 1000 milliseconds) control the speed at which a
keystroke is repeated. The delay between when a key on the keyboard
is pressed and when the character begins to appear repeatedly on
screen is controlled by the Typematic Rate Delay. Once it has begun to
repeat, the character appears at the speed set by the Typematic Rate.
Security Option
Allows you to select whether a password (if you have one) is required
each time the system boots or only when you enter Setup.
PS/2 mouse function control
Enables or Disables the PS/2 mouse.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Leave this field at Disabled unless you have one video card running on
a PCI BUS, and another running on an ISA BUS. Enabling it will allow
both cards to be refreshed. Most systems will only have one video
card, and it will usually be located on a PCI BUS.
System
