New pc arriving and im curious of bios setting discussed in manual - smirk24 - 10-11-2018

I got a new computer coming model: HP Compaq 6300 Pro with the following specs

Intel Pentium processor Processor (Dual-Core, 2.8GHz, 6MB Cache)
4GB DDR3 Memory
250GB (7200RPM) SATA III Hard Drive
Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000

Thats all i know about the specs at the moment.

(I plan on upgrading to windows 10 with it) so during the wait i was looking over the manual and ran into a few settings found in the bios which are

Multi-Processor
Hyper threading
Turbo Mode

Are these settings something worth messing with?

Yes you can upgrade:
  • Memory to 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz = 4GB x 4
  • GPU GTX 730 maybe higher, the PSU is 240Watts
  • SSD what ever size you like.
Hope this helps

I dont know why i didnt post the link with my last post lol

When i was reading the manual also i seen that the computer is compatible with i7 cores and upgradeable ram up to 32gb and man im just stoked lol

But im assuming these features depend on the processor installed

1. Multi-Processor
2. Hyper threading
3. Turbo Mode

Because i dont think those settings would be in the bios if the cpu didnt support those 3 fearures right?

Probably got a dual core processor in it.
