Vanderpool Technology
This feature is used to enable or disable the Intel Virtualization Technol-
ogy (IVT) extension, which also goes by the development code name of
Vanderpool. It allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously
on the same system. It does this by creating virtual machines, each run-
ning its own x86 operating system.
Execute Disable Bit
This item specifies the Execute Disable Bit Feature. The settings are
Enabled and Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default setting is
Enabled. If Disabled is selected, the BIOS forces the XD feature flag to
always return to 0.
