Single
Processor MP
Table
Enabling this parameter allows BIOS to
create a multiprocessor (MP) table for
Windows NT use. In a single-processor
system running Windows NT, you may
disable this parameter to enhance
system performance. If you install
another CPU for a dual system, enable
this parameter then reinstall Windows
NT.
In cases when this parameter is
enabled before installing Windows NT
in a single-processor system, you may
upgrade to a multiprocessor system
without reinstalling Windows NT.

Hyper-
Threading
Technology
Enables or disables the hyperthread-
ing function of the processor.
When enabled, one physical processor
acts as two logical processors by
“threading” two sets of data instruc-
tions in parallel streams of processing.
The processor can then simultaneously
manage incoming data from different
applications without losing track of the
data processing status of each.
Note: When a processor does not sup-
port the Hyper-Threading feature, this
parameter will be grayed out.
