Hyperthreading (auto detect function for Intel Dempsey CPU)
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. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn
’t
support 4-way pr ocessors & the sy stem with 2 HT processors, or
unreliability and instability may occur.
Intel Virtualization Technology
Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform
to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions.
With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple
“virtual” systems.
Important
Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your
computer system requires ALL of the following platform Components:
*CPU: Intel
® Pentium ® 4 or Xeon ™ Processors with HT Technology;
*Chipset: Intel ® Chipsets that support HT Technology;
*BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled;
*OS: An operating system that supports HT Technology.
