Enables or disables video BIOS shadowing (for
AT external video boards only). Enabling the
BIOS shadowing improves the performance of
your PC.
This feature will automatically set the best
ergonomic refresh rates supported by your
display (it will only work with DDC compliant
displays). You should turn on your display before
you turn on the PC in order to use this feature.
Set the preferred refresh rate for each graphic
mode chosen by the video BIOS. A high refresh
rate equals better ergonomic performance. Note
that the display must be able to support the
refresh rates set.
