2. Select Startup.
3. See the information displayed on the right side of the screen.

Advanced settings
On some computer models, the Advanced menu includes a setting to enable or
disable HyperThreading. This feature works only with HyperThreading-aware
operating systems, such as Windows Vista. The default setting for HyperThreading
is Enabled. However, if you select Set Defaults and are using an operating system
other than Windows Vista, your computer performance might be degraded.
Therefore, you should always set HyperThreading to Disabled unless you are sure
your operating system supports HyperThreading.
Exiting from the Setup Utility program
After you finish viewing or changing settings, press Esc to return to the Setup
Utility program menu (you might have to press Esc several times). If you want to
save the new settings, select Exit → Save Changes and Exit. Otherwise, your
changes will not be saved.
