PNP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play)
feature. PCI, or
P
eripheral
C
omponent
I
nterconnect, is a system which allows
I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when
communicating with its 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.
Graphic Adapter Priority
This setting specifies which VGA card is your primary graphics adapter. Set-
ting options are:
[IGD]
The system initializes the IGD (internal graphic display) first.
(for 915G only)
[PCI/IGD]
The system initializes the PCI graphic card first. If a PCI graphic
card is not available, it will initialize the IGD. (for 915G only)
PCI Latency Timer
This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another
takes over. W hen set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transac-
tions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better
PCI performance, you should set the item to higher values. Setting options:
[32], [64], [96], [128], [160], [192], [224], [248].
