3.8   PnP/PCI Configuration  
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.
