ID Value Limit The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent problems with older operating systems that do not support Hyper Threading Technology When enabled the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to O3h when queried even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value When disabled the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried Execute Disable Bit Capability Intel s Execute Disable Bit functionality when combined with a supporting operating system can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks This functionality 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 or worm propagation Hyper Threading Technology The processor uses Hyper Threading technology to increase transaction rates and reduces end user response times The technology treats the two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions simultaneously In this way the system performance is highly improved If you disable the function the processor will use only one core to execute the instructions Please disable this item if your operating system doesn t support HT Function or unreliability and instability may occur Intel R SpeedStep tm Tech EIST Enhanced
