▶ Launch Intel 82579 OpROM, Launch Intel 82574 OpROM, Launch
JMB368 OpROM
This setting enables/disables the initialization of the onboard LAN Boot
ROM during bootup. Selecting [Disabled] will speed up the boot pro-
cess.
▶ CPU Confi guration
▶ Hyper Threading
The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transac-
tion 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 perfor-
mance 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.
▶ Active Processor Cores
This setting specifi es the number of active processor cores.
▶ Limit CPUID Maximum
The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent
problems with older operating systems that do not support the Intel
Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled,
the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when
queried, even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value.
When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID
input value of the processor when queried.
