7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

INIT DISPLAY FIRST
This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA
first.
The Choices: PCI Slot (default), Onboard/ AGP.
RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY
By Choosing "Auto (ESCD)" (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Choosing "Manual", the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on
cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
