|
Bus Frequency | The bus frequency refers to the speed by |
|
| which data is transferred between internal |
|
| computer components and the CPU or the |
|
| main memory of the CPU. A fast bus |
|
| allows data to be transferred faster, which |
|
| makes applications run faster. |

|
Processor | The processor speed is the speed at which a |
|
Speed | microprocessor executes instructions. |
|
| Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz |
|
| (MHz), with 1 MHz being equal to 1 million |
|
| cycles per second. The faster the clock, the |
|
| more instructions the CPU can execute per |
|
| second. |

Single | Enabling this parameter allows BIOS to |
Processor MP | create a multiprocessor (MP) table for |
Table | Windows NT use. In a |
| 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 |
| 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. |
