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 processor uses Hyper-Threading
technology to increase transaction rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the
two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions simultaneously. In
this way, 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. When 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.
Chipset Feature
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:
HPET
The HPET (High Precision Event Timers) is a component that is part of the chipset. You can enable it and it
will provide you with the means to get to it via the various ACPI methods.
VGA Share Memory Size
The system shares memory to the onboard VGA card. This setting controls the exact memory size shared
to the VGA card.
DVMT Mode Select
This item allows you to set the mode for the graphics core.
[Fixed Mode], a fixed-size fragment of the system memory is allocated to the graphics core. It can only be
used by the graphics core.
[DVMT Mode], the driver of the graphics core uses the system memory like any other OS component or
application does.
Boot Sequence
