over. The longer the latency, the longer the PCI device can retain control of the bus
before handing it over to another PCI device.
Options:
64 (Default) / 32 / 96 / 128 / 160 / 192 / 224 / 248
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA
This item allows BIOS to choose a IRQ to assign for the PCI VGA card.
Options:
Yes (Default) / No
Palette Snooping
Some old graphic controllers need to “snoop” on the VGA palette and then map it to
their display as a way to provide boot information and VGA compatibility. This item
allows such snooping to take place.
Options:
Disabled (Default) / Enabled
PCI IDE BusMaster
This item is a toggle for the built-in driver that allows the onboard IDE controller to
perform DMA (Direct Memory Access) trans fers.
Options:
Enabled (Default) / Disabled
IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the

The option “Available” means the IRQ is going
to assign automatically.
Options:
Available (Default) / Reserved
DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7
These items will allow you to assign each DMA channel a type, depending on the
type of device using the channel.
The option “ Available” means the channel is
going to assign automatically.
Options:
Available (Default) / Reserved
Reserved Memory Size
T his item allows BIOS to reserve cert ain memory size for speci fic PCI device.
Options:
Disabled (Default) / 16K / 32K / 64K
