PNP/PCI Configurations
PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, 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.

PnP/PCI Configurations menu
Primary Graphic’s Adapter
This setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter.
PCI Latency Timer
This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes
over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a
longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI
performance, you should set the item to higher values.
PCI Slot 1/ 2 IRQ
These items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot.
