This item defines if the keyboard Num Lock key is active when your system is
started.

Enable this item to shorten the power on testing (POST) and have your system start
up faster. You might like to enable this item after you are confident that your system
hardware is operating smoothly.

This item allows you to enable or disable the APCI (Advanced Programmable Inter-
rupt Controller) mode. APIC provides symmetric multi-processing (SMP) for sys-
tems, allowing support for up to 60 processors.

Use this item to determine the device order the computer used to look for an
operating system to load at start-up time. The devices showed here will be different
depending on the exact devices installed on your motherboard.

This item enables users to manually set up the HyperTransport frequency, ranging
from Auto, 1x, to 5x.

This item helps the system to lower the frequency when CPU idles. When the
frequency decreases, the temperature will drop automatically as well.

This page sets up more advanced information about your system. Handle this page
