Palette Snooping

The default setting is “Disabled“. It is necessary to enable palette snooping if your system has a video multimedia adapter installed and incorrect colors are displayed on screen, and also your system has a PCI video adapter installed that supports palette snooping.

Video Interrupt

This parameter allows you to select “Disabled” for the video interrupt if your video adapter does not require an interrupt and your system is having problems assigning interrupts to other adapters that need them. The default is set to “Enabled“.

IDE Drive Setup

The Device and I/O Ports menu includes four IDE drive items that allow you to configure the hard disk drives and the CD/CD-R/W-ROM drive. Selecting any one of these items displays a submenu with details on a particular IDE drive.

The IDE drive items are identified as follows:

IDE Hard Disk Drive 0

IDE Hard Disk Drive 0 is attached to IDE connector 1 on the system board. This is the hard disk that comes pre-installed with your computer.

Size:

It is not configurable. The BIOS will auto-detect the size from the hard disk drive.

IDE Performance:

The “High Performance“ mode allows IDE devices attached to the system board IDE controller to utilize any performance enhancement features the device may support. If an IDE device attached to the system board IDE controller does not function properly or causes other IDE devices attached to the same controller not to function properly, set this field to the “Compatible“ mode. This will allow other IDE hard disk drives or IDE devices which do not follow the ATA IDE specification to function properly. The default is set to “High Performance“.
