CPU Configuration CPU Type/Signature/Processor Family/Microcode Patch/FSB Speed/Max CPU Speed/ Min CPU Speed/Processor Cores/Intel HT Technology/Intel VT-x Technology/ Intel SMX Technology Displays the technical specifications for the installed processor. 64-bit Display the supported information of installed CPU. EIST Technology Display Intel EIST Technology function support information. CPU C3 state Display the support information of CPU C3 state feature. CPU C6 state Display the support information of CPU C6 state feature. CPU C7 state Display the support information of CPU C7 state feature. Cache Information L1 Data Cache / L1 Code Cache / L2 Cache / L3 Cache Displays the technical specifications for the installed processor. Hyper-threading The Intel Hyper Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or more separate threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-threaded software applications can execute their threads, thereby improving performance. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. Active Processor Cores (Note) Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores. Options available: All/1/2/3. Default setting is All. Overclocking lock Enable/Disable Overclocking lock. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Disabled. Limit CPUID Maximum When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum COUID input values to 03h when queried, even if the processor suppports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Disabled. Execute Disable Bit When enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages. This provides some protection against buffer overflow attacks. When disabled, the processor will not restrict code execution in any memory area. This makes the processor more vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. BIOS Setup - 48 -
