4.8 PCI / Plug and Play 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 users should make any changes to the default settings.

Plug and Play Aware O/S:
If enabled, BIOS will configure only PnP ISA boot devices (i.e., all
PnP ISA cards with boot flag set) then configure all other devices.
If disabled, the BIOS will configure all devices without following
any sequence.
ꢂ
PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks):
This option specifies the latency timings (in PCI clocks) of PCI
devices installed in the PCI expansion slots. The available
settings are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, and 248.
