Quiet Boot Enables or disables the Quiet Boot
function. When set to Enabled, BIOS setup
is in graphical mode and displays only an
identification logo during POST and while
booting. After booting, the screen displays
the operating system prompt (such as DOS)
or logo (such as Windows 95). If any error
occurs while booting, the system
automatically switches to text mode.
Even if your setting is Enabled, you may
still switch to text mode while booting by
pressing the Delete key when you see the
"Press DELETE key to enter setup" message
on the screen.
When set to Disabled, BIOS setup is in the
conventional text mode where you see the
system initialization details on the screen.

When enabled, one physical processor acts

losing track of the data processing status
of each.
