Another BIOS question

I'm not quite sure what this means, or if I should change it:

Init Display First
Specifies the first initiation of the monitor display from the installed PCI graphics card or PCI Express graphics card.

PCI: Sets the PCI graphics card as the first display (default)
PEG: Sets PCI Express graphics card on the first PCI Express x16 slot as the first display
PEG2: Sets PCI Express graphics card on the second PCI Express x16 slot as the first display

I'll be using a PCIe card, so does this mean I need to change the default to the PEG option? What exactly is meant by "first display"? If I don't change this, will I not get anything on the screen?

Thanks.
 
It will boot but it will just take a second longer to find it. If your using your main PCIe X16 slot set it to PEG

Ok, thanks. I guess that makes sense. I know it's best to leave things at their default, but in this case (and for onboard audio if you have a sound card) it's probably necessary to make a few changes.
