Auto Detect DIMM/PCI CLK
If enabled, this feature will allow the BIOS automatically to detect the status
of the DIMM/PCI clock. The settings are "Enabled" and "Disabled."
Init Display First
This option allows the user to determine which display device will first be
activated when the sytem boots up -- either a installed in the PCI slot or a
device intalled in the AGP slot. The settings are "PCI slot" and "AGP".
Quick Power-On Self Test
If enabled, this feature will speed up the process of POST (Power On Self
Test) after the computer is switched on. The settings are "Enabled" and
"Disabled". If "Disabled", the POST procedure will take place at its normal
speed.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This option enables the system to check the status of the NumLock key
during boot-up. The settings are "On" and "Off".
Gate A20 Option
This option allows the user to determine if the chipset or the keyboard
controller should have the control over Gate A20. The settings are "Normal"
or "Fast". If set to "Normal", a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate
A20. If "Fast" is selected, the chipset will have the control over Gate A20.
Typematic Rate Setting
Key strokes repeat at a rate pre-determined by the keyboard controller. The
key stroke repeating rate is called the typematic rate. If "Enabled", this
option allows the user to set the "Typematic Rate" of the system. If
"Disabled", the user will not be allowed to set the "Typematic Rate." The
settings are "Enabled" and "Disabled". (When disabled, "Typematic Rate"
and "Typematic Delay" will not be displayed.)
