PCI/VGA Palette
Snoop
Enabling this item informs the
PCI VGA card to keep silent
(and to prevent conflict) when
the palette register is updated
(i.e., accepts data without
responding to any
communication signals). This
is useful only when two
display cards use the same
palette address and are
plugged into the PCI bus at
the same time (such as MPEQ
or Video capture). In such
case, the PCI VGA is silent
while the MPEQ/Video capture
is set to function normally.

Video BIOS Shadow VGA BIOS Shadowing means
to copy video display card
BIOS into the DRAM area.
This enhances system
performance because DRAM
access time is faster than
ROM.
