In addition, MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge. If your operating system comes with support for MPS 1.4, you should keep the setting as the default 1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the secondary PCI bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge. You should only leave it as 1.1 only if you are running an older operating system that only supports MPS 1.1. ► Quiet Boot This item is used to enable/disable the quiet boot.
