(BIOS Features)
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop (Disabled)
This function controls how VGA compatible and graphic devices handle accesses to
VGA palette registers. The active VGA device always responds to a read of color
palette, wihile either the VGA or graphic agent will be programmed to respond to
write transactions to the color palette and the other will be to snoop it. Some display
cards that are nonstandard VGA such as graphics accelerators or MPEG Video Cards
may not show colors properly. The setting Enabled should correct this problem.
Otherwise leave this on the setup default setting of Disabled.
OS/2 Onboard Memory > 64M (Disabled)
When using OS/2 operating systems with installed DRAM of greater than 64MB,
you need to Enable this option otherwise leave this on the setup default of Disabled.

Video ROM BIOS Shadow (Enabled)
This field allows you to change the video BIOS location from ROM to RAM. Relo-
cating to RAM enhances system performance, as information access is faster than
the ROM.
C8000-CBFFF to DC000-DFFFF (Disabled)
These fields are used for shadowing other expansion card ROMs. If you install
other expansion cards with ROMs on them, you will need to know which addresses
the ROMs use to shadow them specifically. Shadowing a ROM reduces the memory
available between 640KB and 1024KB by the amount used for this purpose.
Boot Up NumLock Status (On)
This field enables users to activate the Number Lock function upon system boot.
Otherwise choose Off.
Boot Up System Speed (High)
This has no function and should be left on the setup default.
Typematic Rate Setting (Disabled)
When Enabled, you can set the two typematic controls listed next. Setup default
setting is Disabled.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
This field controls the speed at which the system registers repeated keystrokes.
Options range from 6 to 30 characters per second. Setup default setting is 6; other
settings are 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, and 30.
Typematic Delay (Msec) (250)
This field sets the time interval for displaying the first and second characters. Four
delay rate options are available: 250, 500, 750, and 1000.
