Resource Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However,
this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug
and Play operating system such as Windows 98. When set to[manual],
you can choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menu
that follows this field (a sub-menu is preceded by a "
"). Available
8
options are [Auto(ESCD)] and [Manual]. (If you choose Auto, the IRQ
Resources and DMA Resources will not have function.)
DMA/IRQ Resources
This item is adjustable only when Resources Controlled By is set to
Manual. Press [Enter] and you will enter the sub-menu of the items. This
item lists IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 for users to set each IRQ a
type depending on the type of device using the IRQ/DMA.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
When set to [Enabled], multiple VGA devices operating on different buses
can handle data from the CPU on each set of palette registers on every
video device. Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI device configuration
space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit (0 is disabled). Available options are
[Enabled] and [Disabled]. Default value is [Disabled].
