PCI and Plug and Play Setup options, described below.
PCI VGA Palette Snoop
When this option is set to Enabled, multiple VGA devices operating on
different buses can handle data from the CPU on each set of palette registers
on every video device. Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI device
configuration space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit (0 is disabled). For example: if
there are two VGA devices in the computer (one PCI and one ISA) and:
VGA Palette
Snoop Bit Setting
Disabled
Data read and written by the CPU is only directed to the PCI VGA
device's palette registers.
Enabled
Data read and written by the CPU is directed to the both the PCI
VGA device's palette registers and the ISA VGA device palette
registers, permitting the palette registers of both devices to be
identical.
This option must be set to Enabled if any ISA adapter card installed in the
system requires VGA palette snooping. The Optimal and Fail – Safe default
settings are Disabled.
PCI Slot-1 Latency Timer
PCI Slot-2 Latency Timer
PCI Slot-3 Latency Timer
PCI Slot-4 Latency Timer

installed in the four PCI expansion slots. The settings are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160,
192, 224, or 248. The Optimal default setting is 248. The Fail – Safe default
