BIOS setting question

Anyone remember the Socket 7 days? I have an ALI Aladdin IV Socket 7 board and AMD K6-II 400 that I'm trying to revive for a friend. I'm using a Diamond Monster Fusion PCI (Banshee 16MB). In the BIOS (AMI), there are two settings I can't remember how I should set:

Primary Frame Buffer - Set to select the Primary Frame Buffer.

VGA Frame Buffer - Set to enable the VGA Frame Buffer.

I'm accustomed to seeing these on boards with integrated video, but this board has no integrated video. So, I'm wondering, what the heck are they for and do they affect the PCI video card?

The options for Primary Frame Buffer are in Megabyte increments like [Disabled/2/4/6MB]. The options for VGA Frame Buffer is just enabled/disabled. Thanks for any advice.
