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.
Some VGA cards have required settings for
this feature. Check your VGA card manual
before setting this parameter.
