Single
Processor MP
Table Enabling this parameter allows BIOS to
create a multiprocessor (MP) table for
Windows NT use. In a single-processor
system running Windows NT, you may
disable this parameter to enhance
system performance. If you install
another CPU for a dual system, enable
this parameter then reinstall Windows
NT.
In cases when this parameter is
enabled before installing Windows NT
in a single-processor system, you may
upgrade to a multiprocessor system
without reinstalling Windows NT.

MP Table
Version This parameter allows you to choose
the version of the multiprocessor
specifications. V1.4

Hyper-
Threading
Technology 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 of
processing. The processor can then
simultaneously manage incoming data
from different applications without
losing track of the data processing
status of each.
Note: When a processor does not sup-
port the Hyper-Threading feature, this
parameter will be grayed out.
