BIOS Setup

**VGA Setting**

The following items allow you to configure the VGA settings of the system.

PEG/Onchip VGA Control

This setting allows you to select whether to use the onchip graphics processor or the PCI Express card.

When set to [Onchip VGA], the motherboard boots up using the onboard graph- ics processor, even when a PCI Express graphics card is installed.

When set to [PEG Port], the motherboard boots up using the PCI Express graph- ics card, if one is installed. Otherwise, it defaults to the onboard graphics processor.

When set to [Auto], the BIOS checks to see if a PCI Express graphics card is installed. If it detects that a PCI Express graphics card is present, the motherboard boots up using that card. Otherwise, it defaults to the onboard graphics processor.

PEG Force X1

This BIOS feature allows you to convert a PCI Express X16 slot into a PCI Express X1 slot. When [Enabled], the PCI Express X16 slot will be forced to run in the PCI Express X1 mode. When [Disabled], the PCI Express X16 slot will be allowed to run in its normal PCI Express X16 mode.

If you have a PCI Express X16 graphics card installed in your system, you should disable this BIOS feature. This allows for optimal performance of the card by ensuring maximum transfer rates between the graphics card and the motherboard.

But if you need to install a PCI Express X1 card into the PCI Express X16 slot, you should enable this BIOS feature to ensure maximum compatibility.
