Intel SAYS there was an option added to

I am using THIS release and I do not see this setup question anywhere within the set up screens for boot or advanced etc...Unless I am missing something (which happens very often) I am hoping others on here have encountered this as well or is using this same BOIS release as well and that they could verify or dis-prove my findings. Intel no longer is offering human technical support for the 850 Family chipset so all i have to go on is their online documentation that isn't congruent with my own findings.
Thanks for asking, Soadyheid
