You have a 2.8 Ghz Pentium 4 desktop computer running Windows 2000 Server operating system.
You want to disable the hyper-threading on
the computer. How will you disable the hyper-threading on the computer?
A.
Disable hyper-threading from the Computer Management utility.
B.
Disable hyper-threading using jumper setting on the motherboard.
C.
Disable hyper-threading from the Device Manager utility.
D.
Disable hyper-threading from the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).
Explanation:
Hyper-threading can be disabled on the computer from the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).
Hyper-threading is a technology developed by Intel. It is used to improve parallelization of
computations performed on computer
microprocessors via simultaneous multithreading. It provides support for multi-threaded code and
allows multiple threads to run
simultaneously and improved response time. A microprocessor with hyper-threading feature is
treated by the operating system as two
processors instead of one.
Answer option C is incorrect. There is no such facility to disable hyper-threading from the Device
Manager utility.
What is Device Manager? Hide
Device Manager is a tool that can be used to manage devices on a computer. Using Device Manager,
users can view and
change device properties, update device drivers, configure device settings, and uninstall devices.
Device Manager is
organized in a tree format with the top branches representing device categories. Users can use
Device Manager to identify
port resource conflicts. Device Manager can also be used to enable or disable a device.
Answer option B is incorrect. There is no such facility to disable hyper-threading using jumper setting
on the motherboard.
Answer option A is incorrect. There is no such facility to disable hyper-threading from the Computer
Management utility.
What is Computer Management? Hide
Computer Management is a component that is used to view and control many aspects of the
computer configuration. It
combines several administration utilities into a single console tree. Computer Management provides
easy access to the
local or remote computer’s administrative properties and tools.
