BIOS Setup
Hardw are Prefetch er
Setting to [Enabled], the processor's hardware prefetcher will be enabled and
allowed to automatically prefetch data and code for the processor.
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch
Setting to [Enabled], the processor will retrieve the currently requested cache
line, as well as the subsequent cache line.
Max CPUID Value Limit
This item allows you to circumvent problems with older operating systems that
do not support the Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology.
Setting to [Enabled], the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to
03h when queried, even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value.
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.
Core Multi-Processing
Enable this feature, if your processor supports multi-core.
PECI
Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) is able to provide digital data
concerning processor temperature information.
Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) tech
