Parameter	Description	Options
VGA Palette	Enables the palette snooping	Enabled or
Snoop	feature if you installed more	Disabled
	than one VGA card in the
	system, allowing the control
	palette register (CPR) to
	manage and update the VGA
	RAM DAC (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 RAM
	DACs. The signal goes
	through the cards
	continuously until all RAM
	DAC data has been updated.
	This allows the display of
	multiple images on the screen.
	Some VGA cards have
	required settings for this
	feature. Check your VGA card
	manual before setting this
	parameter.
Plug and Play	Lets you specify whether BIOS	Yes or No
OS	will initialize only PnP boot
	devices such as SCSI cards,
	or all PnP boot and non-boot
	devices such as sound cards.

Reset Resource	When enabled, avoids IRQ
Assignments	conflict when installing non-
	PnP and 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.

Yes or No

After clearing the resource data, it is recommended that you reset the parameter to its default, i.e., No.
