Pci Resource Allocation Ratio Allocates PCI resources, buses, memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) 
space, and I/O space. If set to Allocate Evenly, equal amount 
of memory is allocated to all the resources when two CPUs are 
installed. When set to Allocate More to CPU1, larger amount 
of device-specific memory is allocated, which in turn reduces the 
usable memory on a system with a 32-bit operating system.
Possible values are:
• Allocate Evenly
• Allocate More to CPU1
Microsoft Windows
Pci Mmio Space Size It allows you to reserve large or small device-specific memory 
regions to decrease or increase the usable memory on systems 
with a 32-bit operating system.
Possible values are:
• Small — Allocates a small region of memory to PCI memory 
mapped I/O.
• Large — Allocates a large region of memory to PCI memory 
mapped I/O. This reserves the large device-specific memory 
regions, but reduces the amount of usable memory in 32-bit 
operating system.
