Or something like

   "Shadow video RAM:
      Enable - This will enable shadowing the video RAM.
      Disable - This disables shadowing the video RAM, preventing it 
from being shadowed."

Uh, yeah, but... WTF DOES THAT MEAN?! >_<

Hence my comment about "the person writing it doesn't know what it 
does". ;-)

[Actually, on reflection, the grammar is too good for a motherboard
