Advanced settings
On some computer models the Advanced settings menu includes a setting to
Enable/Disable HyperThreading. This feature works only with
HyperThreading-aware operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP and
Windows Vista
™
. The default setting for HyperThreading is Enabled. However, if
you select Set Defaults and are using an operating system other than Windows XP
or Windows Vista, the computer performance might be degraded. Therefore, you
should always set HyperThreading to Disabled unless you are sure your operating
system supports HyperThreading.
Exiting from the Setup Utility program
When you finish viewing or changing settings, press Esc to return to the Setup
Utility program menu (you might have to press Esc several times). If you want to
save the new settings, select Save & Exit Setup before you exit. Otherwise, your
changes will not be saved.
