Yes: lets the operating system configure Plug and Play (PnP) devices not required for boot if your system has a Plug and Play operating system. This setting controls how many PCI clocks each PCI device can hold the bus before another PCI device takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. Change PCI Bus Scan Order Yes: assigns IRQ to PCI VGA card if card requests IRQ. This is the default setting and should not be changed unless the VGA card manufacturer requires Palette Snooping to be Enabled. Enabled: informs the PCI devices that an ISA graphics device is installed in the system so the card will function correctly. Enabled: BIOS uses PCI bus mastering for reading / writing to IDE drives.

[. . . ] Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. Without a proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. It is fast enough to support video transfer, and is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices. [. . . ]
