PCI PnP
The PCI PnP menu items allow you to change the advanced settings for PCI/PnP 
devices. The menu includes setting IRQ and DMA channel resources for either 
PCI/PnP or legacy ISA devices, and setting the memory size block for legacy ISA 
devices.
Take caution when changing the settings of the PCI PnP menu items. Incorrect 
field values can cause the system to malfunction.

Plug And Play O/S [No]
When set to [No], BIOS configures all the devices in the system. When set to 
[Yes] and if you install a Plug and Play operating system, the operating system 
configures the Plug and Play devices not required for boot.

Allows you to select the value in units of PCI clocks for the PCI device latency 
timer register. Configuration options: [32] [64] [96] [128] [160] [192] [224] [248]
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA [Yes]
When set to [Yes], BIOS assigns an IRQ to PCI VGA card if the card requests for 
an IRQ. When set to [No], BIOS does not assign an IRQ to the PCI VGA card even 
if requested. Configuration options: [Yes] [No]
Palette Snooping [Disabled]
When set to [Enabled], the palette snooping feature informs the PCI devices that 
an ISA graphics device is installed in the system so that the latter can function 
correctly. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
