High Precision Event Timer
Select Enabled to activate the High Precision Event Timer (HPET) that produces
periodic interrupts at a much higher frequency than a Real-time Clock (RTC)
does in synchronizing multimedia streams, providing smooth playback, reducing

Instruction embedded in the CPU. The High Performance Event Timer is used
to replace the 8254 Programmable Interval Timer. The options are Enabled and
