Intel(R) Virtualization Tech

Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a

platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in indepen-

dent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function

as multiple “Virtual” systems.

Execute Disable Bit Capability

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.

Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) Tech

EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to

dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can

result in decreased average power consumption and decreased aver-

age heat production.

IDE Configuration
