Advanced  settings 
On  some  computer  models  the  Advanced  settings  menu  includes  a  setting  to 
Enable/Disable  HyperThreading.  This  feature  works  only  with  
HyperThreading-aware  operating  systems  such  as  Microsoft  Windows  XP.  The 
default  setting  for  HyperThreading  is  Enabled.  However,  if  you  select  Set  Defaults 
and  are  using  an  operating  system  other  than  Windows  XP,  your  computer 
performance  might  be  degraded.  Therefore,  you  should  always  set 
HyperThreading  to  Disabled  unless  you  are  sure  your  operating  system  supports 
HyperThreading. 
Exiting  from  the  Setup  Utility  program 
When  you  finish  viewing  or  changing  settings,  press  Esc  to  return  to  the  Setup 
Utility  program  menu  (you  might  have  to  press  Esc  several  times).  If  you  want  to 
save  the  new  settings,  select  Save  Settings  or  Save  and  exit  the  Setup  Utility. 
Otherwise,  your  changes  will  not  be  saved.
