PCI Options Descriptions

PCI Latency Timer:

This option is used to set the desired PCI latency for all devices on the

 

PCI bus.

Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA:

This item allows the system to restrict PCI video from being assigned an interrupt.

Interrupt 19 Capture:

This item allows option ROMs to capture interrupt 19 for use in booting.

Reserved Memory Size:

This item specifies the amount of memory reserved for legacy ISA

 

adapter cards and can be toggled between Disabled (none), 16k, 32k,

 

and 64k.
