Advanced CPU Allows you to enable or disable the CPU features that enhance Configuration the performance of the system. • CPU Multiplier-The CPU multiplier multiplied by the front-side bus (FSB) clockspeed determines the core speed of the processor. CPU core clock = FSB Frequency/4 x CPU multiplier • C1E Enhanced Halt State-If enabled, CPU power consumption is reduced when the CPU is idle. This is triggered by the operating system executing the halt instruction. (Enabled/Disabled) • Execute Disable Bit-When disabled, forces the XD feature flag to always return 0. (Enabled/Disabled) • Virtualization -When enabled, a virtual machine monitor (VMM) can utilize the additional hardware capabilities provided by Vanderpool Technology. (Enabled/Disabled) • SpeedStep-If enabled, the CPU clock speed and CPU core voltage are adjusted dynamically based on the CPU load. (Enabled/Disabled) • CPU Core 0 through CPU Core 3-Enables CPU Core 0, 1, 2, and 3. (Enabled/Disabled) 56 Configuring the BIOS

Configuration
Allows you to enable or disable the CPU features that enhance
the performance of the system.
CPU Multiplier—The CPU multiplier multiplied by the
front-side bus (FSB) clockspeed determines the core speed
of the processor.
CPU core clock = FSB Frequency/4 x CPU multiplier
C1E Enhanced Halt State—If enabled, CPU power
consumption is reduced when the CPU is idle. This is triggered
by the operating system executing the halt instruction.
(Enabled/Disabled)
Execute Disable Bit—When disabled, forces the XD feature
flag to always return 0.
(Enabled/Disabled)
Virtualization —When enabled, a virtual machine monitor
(VMM) can utilize the additional hardware capabilities
provided by Vanderpool Technology.
(Enabled/Disabled)
SpeedStep—If enabled, the CPU clock speed and CPU core
voltage are adjusted dynamically based on the CPU load.
(Enabled/Disabled)
CPU Core 0 through CPU Core 3—Enables CPU Core 0, 1, 2,
and 3. (Enabled/Disabled)
