Parameter

Description

Option

 

 

 

VGA Palette

This parameter permits you to use the

Snoop

palette snooping feature if you installed

 

more than one VGA card in the system.

 

The VGA palette snoop function allows the

 

control palette register (CPR) to manage

 

and update the VGA RAMDAC (Digital

 

Analog Converter, a color data storage) of

 

each VGA card installed in the system. The

 

snooping process lets the CPR send a signal

 

to all the VGA cards so that they can

 

update their individual RAMDACs. The

 

signal goes through the cards continuously

 

until all RAMDAC data has been updated.

 

This allows the display of multiple images

 

on the screen.

 

Note: Some VGA cards require specific

 

settings for this feature. Check your VGA

 

card documentation before setting this

 

parameter.

Disabled

Enabled

Plug and Play

When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS

OS

initializes only PnP boot devices such as

 

SCSI cards.

 

When set to No, BIOS initializes all PnP

 

boot and non-boot devices such as sound

 

cards.

 

Note: Set this parameter to Yes only if

 

your operating system is Windows 95/98 or

 

Windows 2000.

No

Yes

Reset Resource

Set this parameter to Yes to avoid IRQ

Assignments

conflicts when installing non-PnP or PnP

 

ISA cards. This clears all resource

 

assignments and allows BIOS to reassign

 

resources to all installed PnP devices the

 

next time the system boots. After clearing

 

the resource data, the parameter resets to

 

No.

No

Yes
