Main Menu

This section describes the Main Menu parameters. Other menu parameters are
available by selecting submenus. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to a
parameter and press

to select a submenu. Items with lighter text are not

available.

T

BIOS Version
This field displays your system’s BIOS version number.

T

Processor Type
This field displays your computer’s processor type, including the
Pentium III processor (if installed).

Note:

Windows incorrectly identifies the Pentium III

processor as a Pentium II or Pentium Pro on the General tab
of the Windows System Properties sheet. This does not
effect the performance of the Pentium III processor. The
BIOS correctly detects the Pentium III processor at startup.
Check for a patch to fix the identification in the General tab
at Microsoft’s website (www.microsoft.com) or the NEC CSD
website (www.nec-computers.com).
