Display the supported infprmation of installed CPU. The Intel Hyper Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or more separate threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-threaded software applications can execute their threads, thereby improving performance. Default setting is Enabled. Hyper-threading Limit CPUID Maximum 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. Energy Performance Bias is Intel CPU function. [. . . ] When enabled, this BIOS feature allows the ROM BIOS of those host adaptors to "capture" Interrupt 19 during the boot process so that drives attached to these adaptors can function as bootable disks. Default setting is Enabled. Interrupt 19 Capture - 63 - BIOS Setup 2-7 Boot Manager The Boot manager menu allows you to specify the boot-up drive.
