A.1 Enabling Hyper-Threading Technology

To enable the functionality of the Hyper-Threading Technology, please

follow the requirements and steps below. Basically, the following

presumes that you have already installed an Intel

Pentium

Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology.

1. The system requires a minimum of 300 Watt ATX 12V power

supply.

2. Aside from installing a CPU fan on the Intel

Pentium

Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology, make sure to install

cooling fans. The system requires adequate airflow throughout the

chassis to prevent overheating the processor.

3. The “CPU Hyper-Threading” field in the Advanced BIOS Features

submenu of the Award BIOS setup will appear. Make sure this

field is set to Enabled.

4. Currently, only Windows

XP supports the Hyper-Threading

Technology. If this OS has been previously installed, you must

REINSTALL it.

5. After installing Windows

XP, please check the following to

ensure that the operating system has been properly installed.

a. Click Start, point to Settings then click Control Panel.

b. Double-click the System icon. The System Properties dialog

box will appear.
