Security Option:

This option can be set to System or to Setup.
After you have created a password through PASSWORD SETTING, this
option will deny access to your system (System) or modification of
computer setup (BIOS Setup) by unauthorized users.
➤ SYSTEM: When you choose System, a password is required each
time the computer boots up. If the correct password is not
given, the system will not start.
➤ SETUP:
When you choose Setup, a password is required only
when accessing the BIOS Setup. If you have not set a
password in the PASSWORD SETTING option, this
option is not available.
Notice: Don't forget your password. If you forget the password, you
will have to open the computer case and clear all information in
the CMOS before you can start up the system. But doing this,
you have to reset all the options you had set up before.
PCI /VGA Palette Snoop:
This option allows the BIOS to preview VGA Status, and to modify the
information delivered from the Feature Connector of the VGA card to the
MPEG Card. This option can solve the display inversion to black after
you have used the MPEG card.
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB:
When the system memory is bigger than 64MB, the communication
method between the BIOS and the operating system will differ from one
operating system to another. If you use OS/2, select OS2; if you choose
another operating system, select Non-OS2.

Delay IDE Initial (Sec):
This item is used to support some old or model or special type of hard
disks or CD-ROMs , since the BIOS may not detect those kinds of
