7.8PNP/PCI Configuration

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components.

This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.

zPNP OS Installed

If all your operating systems support Plug & Play (PnP), select yes so that they can take over the management of device resources. If you are using a non-PnP-aware OS or not all of the operating systems you are using support PnP, select No to let the BIOS handle it instead.

Note that Windows 2000 will work with ACPI even with PnP OS Installed set to Enabled. Just make sure you disable Advanced Power Management (APM).
