Advanced settings
On some computer models, the Advanced settings 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.
