Should be [Disabled] for WinXP. ► Execute Disable Bit This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature. 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 Virtualization Technology (Appears only when CPU supports) Virtualization (i.e. Intel® Vanderpool Technology) allows a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions or "containers." One physical compute system can function as multiple "virtual" systems. Vanderpool Technology can help improve future virtualization solutions. This item will be displayed only when the CPU is supporting this feature and the setting is used to enable/disable it. ► CPU C3 Report This item is used to enable or disable CPU C3 (ACPI C2) report to OS. ► CPU C6 Report This item is used to enable or disable CPU C6 (ACPI C3) report to OS. 21

► Limit CPUID Maximum
This item is used to enable or disable CPUID maximum value limit configuration. Set Limit
CPUID Maximum to 3. Should be [Disabled] for WinXP.
► Execute Disable Bit
This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature.
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,

managers can free IT resources for other initiatives.
► Intel Virtualization Technology (Appears only when CPU supports)
Virtualization (i.e. Intel
®
Vanderpool Technology) allows a platform to run multiple operating
systems and applications in independent partitions or “containers.” One physical compute
system can function as multiple “virtual” systems. Vanderpool Technology can help improve
future virtualization solutions. This item will be displayed only when the CPU is supporting
this feature and the setting is used to enable/disable it.
► CPU C3 Report
This item is used to enable or disable CPU C3 (ACPI C2) report to OS.
► CPU C6 Report
This item is used to enable or disable CPU C6 (ACPI C3) report to OS.
