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.

Plug and Play

When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS

Operating

initializes only PnP boot devices such as

System

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
