Spectrum Spread When enabled, this option modulates the frequency of the CPU clock rate (and hence all clock driven mainboard components), so that any EMI interference generated is not always at the same constant frequency, but instead is spread over a small band of frequencies, therefore reducing problems with equipment that may be particularly sensitive to certain fixed frequencies.

Enabled / Disabled DRAM Data Integrity Mode If you have ECC memory modules installed, select the correct ECC mode with this setting. Disabled / 72-bit ECC / 144-bit ECC / Auto ECC Error Type When an ECC error occurs, it generates an interrupt. Select the type of interrupt to report: NMI (Non-Maskable); SMI (System Management); SCI (System Control). None / NMI / SMI / SCI SERR signal condition Select ECC error conditions that SERR# be asserted.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup Hyper Threading Technology Enable this only if you have an Intel Hyper Threading processor. Hyper-Threading Technology enables multi-threaded software applications to execute threads in parallel. Hyper-Threading Technology provides thread-level-parallelism (TLP) on each processor resulting in increased utilization of processor execution resources. As a result, resource utilization yields higher processing throughput. Hyper-Threading Technology is a form of simultaneous multi-threading technology (SMT) where multiple threads of software applications can be run simultaneously on one processor. This is achieved by duplicating the architectural state on each processor, while sharing one set of processor execution resources. Hyper-Threading Technology also delivers faster response times for multi-tasking workload environments. [. . . ] Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices continue to operate normally. Striping: see RAID UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. Without proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. [. . . ]
