"*" HT functionality requirement content :

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires all

of the following platform components:

®

- CPU: An Intel

Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology

®

- Chipset: An Intel

Chipset that supports HT Technology

- BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

- OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processors specifications.

We dont recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPUs specification

because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,

chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific

bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,

Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards .etc.
