PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI
(Personal Computer Interconnect) is a system which allows I/O devices
to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when commu-
nicating 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.
