MPS Configuration
► MPS Revision
This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it specifies the version of
the MPS that the motherboard will use. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufactur-
ers design and build CPU architecture systems with two or more processors. MPS 1.1 was
the original specification. MPS version 1.4 adds extended configuration tables for improved
support of multiple PCI bus configurations and greater expandability in the future. In addition,
MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge. If your
operating system comes with support for MPS 1.4, you should keep the setting as the default
1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the secondary PCI
bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge. You should only leave it as 1.1
only if you are running an older operation system that only supports MPS 1.1.
