Intel(R) Virtualization Tech
Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a plat-
form to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent
partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as mul-
tiple “Virtual” systems.
Execute Disable Bit Capability
Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of mali-
cious “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 mali-
cious 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 dy-
namically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result
in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat
production.
IDE Configuration
