can anyone tell me what HPET mode is in my bios. i notice it was enable but set to 32bit and i have windows 7 ultimate x64 edition. i switch it to 64bit mode but this was done well after i install windows. i did a search before posting but forgive me if this was answered already..

thanks

Hi,

You might want to check out this Wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer as it goes into details of HPET and may answer your questions.
