This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal  Computer 
Interconnect, is a system which 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.

Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system 
reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot.  The 
settings are: Enabled and Disabled. 

Resource Controlled By 
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and 
Plug and Play compatible devices.  However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless 
you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows

The settings are: Auto(ESCD), Manual. 

IRQ Resources 
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a type, depending on 
the type of device using the interrupt.
