System Utilities
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to ru
Setup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM.
This memory area is not part of the system RAM.
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS.
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after you exit Setup.

Entering Setup
To enter Setup, press the key combination b

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Description
This parameter permits you to use the palette snooping feature if you installed more than one
VGA card in the system. The PVI/VGA palette snoop function allows the control palette register
(CPR) to manage and update the VGA RAMDAC
(Digital Analog Converter, a color data storage) of each VGA card installed in the system. The snooping process lets the CPR send a signal to all the VGA cards so that they can update their individual RAMDACs. The signal goes through the cards continuously until all RAMDAC data has been updated. This allows the display of multiple images on the screen.
NOTE: Some VGA cards have required settings for this feature. Check your VGA card manual before setting this parameter.
