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.

Enabled

Plug and Play	When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS ini-
OS	tializes 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.

Yes

No

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.

Yes

No
