Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate

the gate A20 was handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today, while a
keyboard still provides this support, it is more common and much faster
in setting to Fast for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20.
