bios 6/23 - PCI inital start - PCI or PCIE ?

[expresso]

hi - i just noticed for the first time this setting in my bios -

 

i put everything to defualt and as i went thur the bios again

 

i found this option -

 

PCI inital start -- it was set to PCI -

 

if you click it - you can change it to PCI or PCIE

 

i am using a pci e slot and card - anyone know what this option is and what would happen if i changed it to PCIE ?

 

i was worried that if i changed it to PCIE - that my monitor wouldnt show or something - then i wouldnt be able to get back in the bios to change it so i left it at PCI - -

 

its been about 9 months maybe now this way - so i dont think its a big deal -

 

but does anyone know what it is ?

 

thanks

Im pretty sure it's just what it will initially display with. Like if you had both a pci/pci-e card you could have the pci display first or something to that accord. Ive had it on both with no real difference but I always put it to pci-e anyways.

ok thanks - i may change it to pci e also -

 

no big deal but i wanted to make sure -- wasnt sure what it would do -
