4.2.5 PNP/PCI Configuration Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed 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 make any
changes to the default settings.
