Init Display First

This option selects the primary graphic card.  Either a card in PCI-Slot or in AGP-Slot. Options: "First PCI" or "OnboardAGP".

Reset Configuration Data

If activated, the option ensures that the BIOS deletes the information relating to built-in components and their resources and reconfigures them (all settings are reset). Setting options: Enabled, Disabled.

Resources Controlled By

Specifies whether the PnP settings should be assigned via setup or automatically. Auto should be used, if there are no problems with IRQ or DMA assignments.

IRQ Resources

If these resources are set manually, each system interrupt should be assigned a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

DMA Resources

If these resources are set manually, each DMA (0 upto 7)  can be mapped to PCI/ISA PnP or Legacy ISA.

Memory Resources

If memory areas are to be protected for use by the operating system, an area can be set here.

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

Used by multimedia video cards. This function should be switched on (Enabled), depending on the card. It is switched off by default.
