Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer
overflow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Execute Disable Bit 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 and worm propagation.
Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks,
reducing the need for virus-related repairs. By combining Execute Disable Bit with anti-virus,
firewall, spyware removal, e-mail filtering software, and other network security measures, IT
managers can free IT resources for other initiatives.
► Intel(R) HT Technology
Hyper-Threading Technology allows one physical processor package to be perceived as two
separate logical processors within the operating system. This option is used to enable or dis-
able the feature. It will be displayed only if your CPU is supporting this feature.
► Active Processor Cores
This item is used to select the number of cores to enable in each processor package.
► Intel PPM Configuration
Press <Enter> to go to relative submenu.
Intel PPM Configuration
► EIST Function (Appears only when CPU supports)
You can select the EIST (Processor Power Management, PPM) through this item.
