Hyper-Threading
You can enable (the default setting is "Disabled") Hyper Threading from the Advanced Menu in the BIOS Setup
Utility. Hyper-Threading is only supported in computers with a processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. If
you do not have a processor with Hyper-Threading Technology, this menu option will not appear.

Hyper-Threading is only supported in Windows XP, so DO NOT enable this option if you are using Windows 2000.
If you have updated the Flash ROM BIOS from a previous version, which did not have the Hyper Threading option,
you must reinstall Windows XP after the BIOS update. Once you have enabled Hyper-Threading, DO NOT disable
the option or the computer may not startup (returning to the BIOS and enabling the option will correct this in case of
accidental disabling of the option). If you are changing the processor from a CPU which supports Hyper-Threading,
to one which does not, you will need to reinstall your OS.
