4. BIOS SETUP

PCI/PnP

4.4.4 Plug and Play Setup

Plug and Play Aware O/S [No]

This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to configure

the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. Thus interrupts may be reassigned by

the OS when [Yes] is selected. When a non-PnP OS is installed or to prevent reas-

signing of interrupt settings, select the default setting of [No].

Clear NVRAM [No]

Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) retains its contents when the com-

puter is turned off. NVRAM is used to store essential information such as device

node data, and Setup parameters. Select [Yes] only if you want to clear these data

during the Power-On Self Test (POST).

PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks) [64]

Leave on default setting for best performance vs. stability.

Primary Graphics Adapter [PCI]

If your computer has both PCI and AGP VGA cards, this field allows you to select

which of the cards will act as your primary graphic card. [AGP] uses the AGP card

as your primary card. The default, [PCI], allows your PCI graphic card to take pre-

cedent when detected.

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop [Disabled]

Some nonstandard VGA cards, such as graphics accelerators or MPEG Video Cards,

may not show colors properly. The setting [Enabled] should correct this problem.

Otherwise, leave this on the default setting of [Disabled].
