MS-7043 ATX Mainboard 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. Settings: [Enabled], [Disabled]. Note that this function only available when the CPU installed supports HyperThreading function. MSI Reminds You... Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your com- puter system requires ALL of the following platform Components: * CPU: An Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology; * Chipset: A Chipset that supports HT Technology; * BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled; * OS: An operating system that supports HT Technology.

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. Settings:
[Enabled],
[Disabled].
Note that
this function only available when the CPU installed supports Hyper-
Threading function.
MPS Revision
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 operat-
ing system. Settings: [1.4], [1.1].
