CPU Configuration
Hyper-Threading
The processor uses Hyper-Threadng technology to ncrease transacton
rates and reduces end-user response tmes. The technology treats the two
cores nsde the processor as two logcal processors that can execute nstruc-
tons smultaneously. In ths way, the system performance s hghly mproved.
If you dsable the functon, the processor wll use only one core to execute the
nstructons. Please dsable ths tem f your operatng system doesn’t support
HT Functon, or unrelablty and nstablty may occur.
Execute Disable Bit
Intel’s Execute Dsable Bt functonalty can prevent certan classes of mal-
cious “buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating
system. Ths functonalty allows the processor to classfy areas n memory by
where applcaton code can execute and where t cannot. When a malcous
worm attempts to nsert code n the buffer, the processor dsables code execu-
ton, preventng damage or worm propagaton.
Intel Virtualization Technology
Vrtualzaton enhanced by Intel Vrtualzaton Technology wll allow a platform
to run multple operatng systems and applcatons n ndependent parttons.
Wth vrtualzaton, one computer system can functon as multple “vrtual” sys-
tems.
EIST
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dynam-
cally adjust processor voltage and core frequency, whch can result n de-
creased average power consumpton and decreased average heat produc-
ton.
