[. . . ] Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores. When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum COUID input values to 03h when queried, even if the processor suppports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried. When enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages. This provides some protection against buffer overflow attacks. When disabled, the processor will not restrict code execution in any memory area. This makes the processor more vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. Select whether to enable the speculative prefetch unit of the processor. When enabled, cache lines are fetched in pairs. When disabled, only the required cache line is fetched. Default setting is Enabled. Execute Disable Bit Hardware Prefetcher Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about Intel CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website. BIOS Setup - 46 - DCU Streamer Prefetch DCU IP Prefetcher Enable prefetch of next L1 Data line based upon multiple loads in same cache line. Enable prefetch of next L1 Data line based upon sequential load history. Select whether to enable the Intel Virtualization Technology function. VT allows a single platform to run multiple operating systems in independent partitions. Press [Enter] for configuration of advanced items. Intel Virtualization Technology CPU Power Management Configuration - 47 - BIOS Setup 2-2-3-1 CPU Power Management Configuration CPU Power Management Configuration Power Technology EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) Configure the power management features. Options available: Disable/Energy Efficient/Custom. Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. When this item is enabled, tje processor will automatically ramp up the clock speed of 1-2 of its processing cores to improve its performance. When this item is disabled, the processor will not overclock any of its core.
