3.9 PnP/PCI Configurations
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.
