Boot Sequence Lists the drives in the order by which they boot. • Floppy device - Identifies and defines the floppy drive attached to the FLOPPY connector on the system board. If there is no installed drive, it appears as Floppy device (not installed). • Hard-Disk Drive - Identifies the hard drive. The drive is listed by its drive letter (such as Hard Disk Drive C:). • IDE - Identifies and defines the optical drive attached to the IDE connector on the system board. If there is no installed drive, it appears as IDE CD-ROM Device (not installed). An included device displays with a checkmark next to its listing. To remove the device from the boot sequence, use the spacebar to clear the checkmark. To change the boot order, use + or - to move the listing up or down. Memory Information Installed System Memory Identifies and lists the amount of detected memory. System Memory Speed Identifies and lists the speed of the detected memory in megahertz (MHz). For information on supported memory see "Memory" on page 79. System Channel Mode Identifies and lists the installed memory as either Dual or Single channel. For information on supported memory see "Memory" on page 79. AGP Aperture Identifies and lists the amount of memory to dedicate for graphics. The values vary depending on the capacity of installed memory. CPU Information Hyperthreading If your computer's processor supports Hyper-Threading, This section displays the following options: • Disabled - Hyper-Threading is Off. • Enabled - Hyper-Threading is On. CPU Speed Lists the options for setting the processor speed as Normal or Compatible. NOTICE: Changing the CPU Speed is not recommended, this may shorten the life of the processor and void the warranty. Bus Speed Lists the speed that the processor runs in megaherz (MHz) Processor ID Lists the processor Clock Speed, and L2 Cache Size. Appendix 85
