Description
This parameter permits you to use the
palette snooping feature if you installed
more than one VGA card in the system.
The VGA palette snoop function allows
the control palette register (CPR) to
manage and update the VGA RAMDAC
(Digital Analog Converter, a color data
storage) of each VGA card installed in the
system. The snooping process lets the CPR
send a signal to all the VGA cards so that
they can update their individual
RAMDACs. The signal goes through the
cards continuously until all RAMDAC data
has been updated. This allows the display
of multiple images on the screen.
Note: Some VGA cards require specific
settings for this feature. Check your VGA
card documentation before setting this
parameter.
When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS
initializes only PnP boot devices such as
SCSI cards.
When set to No, BIOS initializes all PnP
boot and non-boot devices such as sound
cards.
Note: Set this parameter to Yes only if
your operating system is Windows 95/98 or
Windows 2000.
Set this parameter to Yes to avoid IRQ
conflicts when installing non-PnP or PnP
ISA cards. This clears all resource
assignments and allows BIOS to reassign
resources to all installed PnP devices the
next time the system boots. After clearing
the resource data, the parameter resets to
No.
