Enhance Halt State All processors support the Halt State (C1). The C1 state is supported through the native processor instructions HLT and MWAIT and requires no hardware support from the chipset. In the C1 power state, the processor maintains the context of the system caches. Intel (R) Virtualization Tech When this option is set to [Enabled], a VMM (Virtual Machine Architecture) can utilize the additional hardware capabilities provided by Vanderpool Technology. CPU Thermal Throttling You may select [Enabled] to enable CPU internal thermal control mechanism to keep the CPU from overheated. No-Excute Memory Protection No-Execution (NX) Memory Protection Technology is an enhancement to the IA-32 Intel Architecture. An IA-32 processor with "No Execute (NX) Memory Protection" can prevent data pages from being used by malicious software to execute code. Hyper Threading Technology To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel® processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating system that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft ® Windows® XP / VistaTM / 7. Set to [Enabled] if using Microsoft® Windows® XP / VistaTM / 7, or Linux kernel version 2.4.18 or higher. 42
