CPU Frequency

This parameter displays your CPU’s speed and bus frequency. Selecting 
this option displays the following screen: 

Bus Frequency

The bus frequency refers to the speed by 
which data is transferred between internal 
computer components and the CPU or the 
main memory of the CPU.  A fast bus 
allows data to be transferred faster, which 
makes applications run faster.

Processor 
Speed

The processor speed is the speed at which a 
microprocessor executes instructions.  
Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz 
(MHz), with 1 MHz being equal to 1 million 
cycles per second.  The faster the clock, the 
more instructions the CPU can execute per 
second.

Single 
Processor MP 
Table

Enabling this parameter allows BIOS to 
create a multiprocessor (MP) table for 
Windows NT use.  In a single-processor 
system running Windows NT, you may 
disable this parameter to enhance system 
performance.  If you install another CPU 
for a dual system, enable this parameter 
then re-install Windows NT.

In cases when this parameter is enabled 
before installing Windows NT in a single-
processor system, you may upgrade to a 
multiprocessor system without reinstalling 
Windows NT.
