This PnP BIOS can configure all of the boot and compatible devices with the use of a PnP operating system such as Windows 95.

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

Some non-standard VGA display cards may not show colors properly. This field allows you to set whether or not MPEG ISA/VESA VGA cards can work with PCI/VGA. When this field is enabled, a PCI/VGA can work with an MPEG ISA/VESA VGA card. When this field is disabled, a PCI/VGA cannot work with an MPEG ISA/VESA card.

Maximum Payload Size

The default setting of the PCI Express Maximum Payload Size is 4096.
