2.7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds
nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating 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.

When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting (VGA,
IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system
like Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards.
Therefore for non-PnP operating system (DOS, Netware™), this option must set
to NO.
