VGA Palette Snoop This parameter permits you to use the palette snooping feature if you installed more than one VGA card in the system. The default setting is Disabled. The VGA palette snoop function allows the control palette register (CPR) to manage and update the VGA RAM DAC (Digital Analog Converter, a color data storage) of each VGA card installed in the system. The snooping process lets the CPR send a signal to all the VGA cards so that they can update their individual RAM DACs. The signal goes through the cards continuously until all RAM DAC data has been updated. This allows display of multiple images on the screen. Some VGA cards have required settings for this feature. Check your VGA card manual before setting this parameter. Graphics Aperture Size This parameter determines the effective size of the graphics aperture. Graphics aperture is the address range that the AGP video and the CPU use to manage graphical objects. The lowest setting is 8 MB and the highest is 256 MB. The default setting is 64 MB . Plug and Play OS When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS initializes only PnP boot devices such as SCSI cards. When set to No, BIOS initializes all PnP boot and non-boot devices such as sound cards. The default setting is No. Reset Resource Assignments Set this parameter to Yes to avoid IRQ conflict when installing non-PnP or PnP ISA cards. This clears all resource assignments and allows BIOS to reassign resources to all installed PnP devices the next time the system boots. After clearing the resource data, the parameter resets to No. 2-34 Altos 1100 Series User's Guide
