- 47 - BIOS Setup
(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.
CPU Multi-Threading
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores and multi-threading function when using
an Intel
®
CPU that supports multi-core technology. This feature only works for operating systems
that support multi-processor mode.
Enabled Enables all CPU cores and multi-threading capability. (Default)
Disabled Enables only one CPU core.
Limit CPUID Max. to 3
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to limit CPUID maximum value. Set this item to Disabled for
Windows XP operating system; set this item to Enabled for legacy operating system such as
Windows NT4.0. (Default: Disabled)
No-Execute Memory Protect
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel
®
Execute Disable Bit function. This function may enhance protection for
the computer, reducing exposure to viruses and malicious buffer overflow attacks when working
with its supporting software and system. (Default: Enabled)
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel
®
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) function, a CPU power-saving function in
system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during
system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled)
C2/C2E State Support
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C2/C2E mode in system halt state. When
enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to descrease
power consumption. (Default: Disabled)
CPU Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2)
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel
®
CPU Thermal Monitor (TM2) function, a CPU overheating protection
function. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced when the CPU is
overheated. (Default: Enabled)
CPU EIST Function
(Note)
Enables or disables Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST). Depending on CPU loading,
Intel
®
EIST technology can dynamically and effectively lower the CPU voltage and core frequency
to decrease average power consumption and heat production. (Default: Enabled)
Virtualization Technology
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel
®
Virtualization Technology. Virtualization enhanced by Intel
®
Virtualization
Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent
partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems.
(Default: Enabled)
Delay For HDD (Secs)
Allows you to set a delay time for the BIOS to initialize the hard drive as the system boots up. The
adjustable range is from 0 to 15 seconds. (Default: 0)
Backup BIOS Image to HDD
Allows the system to copy the BIOS image file to the hard drive. If the system BIOS is corrupted,
it will be recovered from this image file. (Default: Enabled)
