Description
Enables or disables the Quiet Boot func-
tion. When set to Enabled, BIOS setup is in
graphical mode and displays only an iden-
tification logo during POST and while
booting. After booting, the screen displays
the operating system prompt (such as DOS)
or logo (such as Windows). If any error
occurs while booting, the system
automatically switches to text mode.
Even if your setting is Enabled, you may
still switch to text mode while booting by
pressing the CTRL-ALT-ESC key when you
see the "Press CTRL-ALT-ESC key to enter
setup" message on the screen.
When set to Disabled, BIOS setup is in the
conventional text mode where you see the
system initialization details on the screen.
Enable or disables the hyperthreading
function of the processor.
When enabled, one physical processor acts
as two logical processors by "threading"
two sets of data instructions in parallel
streams for processing. The processor can
then simultaneously manage incoming
data from different applications without
losing track of the data processing status
of each.
BIOS will set the CPU optimal speed to its
highest speed without re-entering BIOS
Setup to load default settings.
Activates the Num Lock function upon
booting
CPU/bus ratio of the system. The clock
speed of the bus does not necessarily equal
the CPU's. Mostly, the bus clock speed is
slower than the CPU clock speed.
Enable this parameter if you intend to use
a mouse or trackball with a PS/2 interface.
