MPS Version Control For OS
This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it specifies
the version of the Multi-Processor Specification (MPS) that the motherboard will
use. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufacturers design and build
Intel architecture systems with two or more processors.
MPS 1.1 was the original specification. MPS version 1.4 adds extended
configuration tables for improved support of multiple PCI bus configurations and
greater expandability in the future.
In addition, MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without
requiring a PCI bridge. Select the MPS version depending on the operating
system installed: select 1.1 for Win NT
3.52, and 1.4 for Win NT4.0, Win2000, and WinXP.
• 1.1
• 1.4

Set this option to Yes if you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy to
