MPS revision and MPS type?

[MarksmanX 0]

Hi guys, I was looking at my bios setting and found this:

 

MPS revision 1.1 or 1.4

and

 

MPS revision ISA type or generic

 

can anyone help me in what this means? In the manual it says, select 1.1 and 1.4 and doesn't explain what it does. I have a dual pentium II 450 running W2K Thanks guys

MPS is "Multi Processor Support", and refers to the level of BIOS support given to SMP machines. As a general rule, higher is better - however, some ABit BIOS revisions stopped supporting USB under W2K when MPS 1.4 was selected.
