Hyper
Threading
Function
Enables or disables the Hyper-Threading
function of the processor.
When enabled, one physical processor acts
as two logical processors by "threading"
two sets of data instructions in parallel
streams for processing.
The processor can
then simultaneously manage incoming
data from different applications without
losing track of the data processing status
of each.

Auto-detect
CPU Frequency
Enables or disables the auto-detect CPU
frequency function.
Enabled
Disabled
CPU Frequency
to Bus Ratio
Bus/bus ratio of the system.
The clock
speed of the bus does not necessarily equal
the speed of the CPU. Mostly, the bus clock
speed is slower than the CPU clock speed.

Num Lock
Activates the Num Lock function upon
booting.
