CPU Feature
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:
Hyper-Threading Technology
This field appears only when the CPU supports Hyper-Threading. The proces-
sor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and re-
duces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the
proces sor as t wo logic al pr oc ess ors t hat can exec ut e ins t ruct ions
simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you
disable the f unction, the processor will use only one core to execute the
instructions.
Execute Bit Support
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious
"buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where
application code can execute and where it cannot. W hen a malicious worm
attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution,
preventing damage or worm propagation.
Set Limit CPUID MaxVal to 3
The Max CPUID Value Limit is designed to limit the listed speed of the processor
to older operating systems.
