the CPU's power consumption by reducing the CPU's clock cycle and voltage during
a "Halt State." The options are Disabled and
Enabled
.
Hardware Prefetcher (Available when supported by the CPU)
If set to Enabled, the hardware pre fetcher will pre fetch streams of data and instruc-
tions from the main memory to the L2 cache in the forward or backward manner to
improve CPU performance. The options are Disabled and
Enabled
.

Execute-Disable Bit Capability (Available when supported by the OS and
the CPU)
Set to Enabled to enable Execute Disable Bit support, which will allow the processor
to designate areas in the system memory where an application code can execute
and where it cannot, thus preventing a worm or a virus from fl ooding illegal codes
to overwhelm the processor or damage the system during an attack. The default is
Enabled
. (Refer to Intel and Microsoft websites for more information.)
