Options: No (Default) / Yes 16 A740G M2+ BIOS Manual PCI Latency Timer This item controls how long a PCI device can hold the PCI bus before another takes over. The longer the latency, the longer the PCI device can retain control of the bus before handing it over to another PCI device. Options: 64 (Default) / 0-255 Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA This item allows BIOS to choose a IRQ to assign for the PCI VGA card.
