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 F2 key when you see the
"Press F2 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.
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.

played if Auto-Detect CPU Frequency is
