Hyper-Threading (Advanced Menu)
You can enable (the default setting is disabled) Hyper-Threading if your com-
puter has an Intel Pentium® 4 Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology
(see
“Processor” on page A - 1
&
B-1
)
, running the
Windows XP
OS
, or
Win-
dows 2000
(
with Service Pack 4 installed)
. Hyper-Threading will increase
performance of your computer depending on the hardware and software you
use.
•
If you do not have a Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology,
this menu option will not appear
.
•
DO NOT enable this option in
Windows 2000
unless you have Service
Pack 4 installed.
•
Once you have enabled Hyper-Threading, DO NOT disable the
option
.
I/O Device Configuration (Advanced Menu)
The sub-menu under this line includes options to configure the
Parallel
(Printer) port
and
Serial (Mouse) port A
. These can be left to the default set-
tings, unless you wish to use certain devices (e.g. a printer) which require set-
tings to be adjusted accordingly. Check the documentation for any such
devices to see what settings are required.
Hyper-Threading
To use Hyper-Threading you
must have a computer with a
Pentium 4 Processor which
supports Hyper-Threading
Technology,
running the
Windows XP OS
, or
Win-
dows 2000 with Service
Pack 4 installed
. The menu
option will not appear if your
CPU does not support Hyper-
Threading.
If you are
updating
your
BIOS from a previous version
which did not have the Hyper-
Threading option, you must
reinstall Windows XP/Win-
dows 2000 with SP4 in-
stalled after you have
updated your BIOS
.
If you are changing your pro-
cessor from a cpu which sup-
ports Hyper-Threading, to
one which does not, you will
need to reinstall your OS.
