Usually, the higher the setting, the better AGP performance, regardless of how much actual RAM you have installed on your motherboard. Leave at default setting. Graphics Aperture SERR Signal Condition ECC Config Toggles memory correction. ECC Scrub ­ ECC with memory contents corrected after all reads with errors. 3. 4 ­ Keyboard Configuration screen Options related to keyboard setup can be altered in this section.

Use this port for devices such as printers or Zip drives. Interrupt Parallel Port Mode Base I/O Interrupt DMA Channel Enabled Disabled Auto Defines the mode that the Parallel port will operate in. These options appear when the Parallel Port is enabled and allows you to set the Base I/O address. Auto 3. 6 ­ PCI Configuration Options related to PCI slot features can be altered in this section. Primary Video PCI Device, Slot 1 (. . 2, 3, 4, 5) PCI Device, Slot 1 (. . 2, 3, 4, 5) Defines which slots the system will attempt to initiate video on first. However, PCI bus mastering allows devices that can, to access other devices on the PCI bus directly for increased performance. Certain devices such as sound cards, which require the most PCI access time, may benefit from a higher latency time. PCI Device, Slot 1 (. . 2, 3, 4, 5) 3. 9 ­ Security Setup Options related to system security can be altered in this section. [Press Enter] Set Supervisor Password Password on boot Fixed disk boot sector Diskette Access Disabled Enabled Normal Write Protect Disabled Enabled Enter up to seven alphanumeric characters. [. . . ] Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. Striping: see RAID UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. Without proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. [. . . ]
