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 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
Init Display First
This field is used to select whether to initialize the onboard VGA, PCI Express or PCI
first when the system boots.
Reset Configuration Data
Default is 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 OS cannot boot.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Resource Controlled By
BIOS can automatically configure the entire boot and plug and play compatible
devices. If set to Auto, IRQ DMA and memory base address fields can not be selected,
since BIOS automatically assigns them.
The choice: Auto (ESCD), Manual.
