PNP or not

[mistanapesis]

I have been meaning to look in to this for a while now, Can anyone tell me what i should set my BIOS to in the part that says PNP O\S Aware. Some people have been saying to keep it at NO when installing windows and others are saying I should select YES. I know its something to do with allocating resources. Can anyone give me any more info? Thanks. If your unsure....Dont do it!

Unless you're familiar with manually allocating resources, then suggest that you enable PnP before installing Windows.
The manual route can be a hassle for the inexperienced.

Just make sure to install only the video card and no other cards during the initial installation.
Then after Windows is installed,and the video card is recognized and its drivers are installed, then install the other cards one at a time.

PnP in your BIOS to No, tells you BIOS to allocad IRQ etc. to the devices.
If set to YES, it will leave the OS (WIN) to deal with it.
In a way, it does not really matter. You can even chacnge it afterwards if you get some errors. The solution is out there.
