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 of 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.

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first. 
The Choices: PCI Slot (default), Onboard, PCIEx. 

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record 
which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. 
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records 
which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD 
to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the 
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when 
the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen, 
the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the 
“Disabled” mode.
