| 1. A method of signal transmission via a PCI-Express bus of a computer system, comprising:
transmitting a first command, where a central processing unit transmits the first command to a second system chip;
snooping the first command, where a first system chip snoops the system command transmitted from the central processing unit
to the second system chip;
transmitting a second command, where the central processing unit transmits the second command to the second system chip;
blocking the second command, where the first system chip blocks the second command;
executing the second command by the first system chip;
passing the second command to the second system chip; and
executing the second command by the second system chip.
