Plug and Play Aware O/S
Enable this item if you are using an O/S that supports Plug and Play such as
Windows 95/98/ME.
Primary Graphics Adapter
This item indicates if the primary graphics adapter uses the PCI or the AGP
bus. The default PCI setting still lets the onboard display work and allows the
use of a second display card installed in a PCI slot.
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA
If this item is enabled, an IRQ will be assigned to the PCI VGA graphics sys-
tem. You set this value to No to free up an IRQ.
PCI IDE BusMaster
This item enables or disables the DMA under DOS mode. We recommend you
to leave this item at the default value.

Load Optimal Settings

If you select this item and press Enter a dialog box appears. If you press Y,
and then Enter, the Setup Utility loads a set of fail-safe default values. These
default values are not very demanding and they should allow your system to
function with most kinds of hardware and memory chips.
Note: It is highly recommended that users enter this option to load optimal val-
ues for accessing the best performance.

Load Best Performance Settings

If you select this item and press Enter a dialog box appears. If you press Y,
and then Enter, the Setup Utility loads a set of best-performance default val-
ues. These default values are quite demanding and your system might not
function properly if you are using slower memory chips or other low-
performance components.
