MPS Table Version
This field allows you to select which MPS (Multi-Processor Specification) version to
be used for the operating system. You need to select the MPS version supported by
your operating system. To find out which version to use, consult the vendor of your
operating system.
CPU Feature
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu, and the following screen appears.
Hyper-Threading Function
The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates
and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores
inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions
simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you
disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the
instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’t
support HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.
Execute Bit Support
Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where
application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm
attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution,
preventing damage or worm propagation.
Important
Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer
system requires ALL of the following platform Components:
* CPU: An Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 Processor with HT Technology;
* Chipset: An Intel
®
Chipset that supports HT Technology;
* BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled;
* OS: An operating system that supports HT Technology.
