Hyper-Threading
You can enable (the default setting is “Disabled”) Hyper Threading from the
Advanced Menu
in the
BIOS Setup
Utility
. Hyper-Threading is only supported in
computers with a processor with Hyper-Threading Technology
.
If
you do not have a processor with Hyper-Threading Technology, this menu option will not appear.
Hyper-Threading is only supported in
Windows XP
, so
DO NOT enable this option if you are using Windows 2000
.
If you have updated the Flash ROM BIOS from a previous version, which did not have the
Hyper Threading
option,
you must
reinstall Windows XP
after the BIOS update. Once you have
enabled
Hyper-Threading,
DO NOT disable
the option
or the computer may not startup (returning to the BIOS and enabling the option will correct this in case of
accidental disabling of the option). If you are changing the processor from a CPU which supports Hyper-Threading,
to one which does not, you will need to reinstall your OS.
