3.3.1 CPU Configuration
CPU Host Frequency
While entering setup, BIOS auto detects the present CPU host frequency of
this motherboard. The actual CPU host frequency will show in the following item.
Boot Failure Guard
Enable or disable the feature of Boot Failure Guard.
Spread Spectrum
This item should always be [Auto] for better system stability.
Max CPUID Value Limit
For Prescott CPU only, some OSes (ex. NT4.0) cannot handle the
function with disable. This should be enabled in order to boot legacy
OSes that cannot support CPUs with extended CPUID functions.
CPU Thermal Throttling
You may select [Enabled] to enable P4 CPU internal thermal control mechanism
to keep the CPU from overheated.
Hyper Threading Technology
To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel Pentium®4
processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating
system that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft®
Windows® XP. Set to [Enabled] if using Microsoft® Windows® XP, or Linux
kernel version 2.4.18 or higher. This option will be hidden if the installed
CPU does not support Hyper-Threading technology.
