BIOS Setup processor can simultaneously process two threads of code, improving the performance of multi-threaded code running on a single processor platform. Setting this function to Enabled will improve overall system performance, increase number of users a platform can support, improve reaction and response time, and increase number of transaction that can be executed. Setting options: Enabled, Disabled. MSI Reminds You...
