Execute Disable Bit
Intel's Execute Dsable Bt functonalty can prevent certan classes of mal-
cous "buffer overflow" attacks when combned wth a supportng operatng
system. Ths functonalty allows the processor to classfy areas n memory by
where applcaton code can execute and where t cannot. When a malcous
worm attempts to nsert code n the buffer, the processor dsables code execu-
ton, preventng damage or worm propagaton.

Intel Virtualization Technology
Vrtualzaton enhanced by Intel Vrtualzaton Technology wll allow a platform
to run multple operatng systems and applcatons n ndependent parttons.
Wth vrtualzaton, one computer system can functon as multple "Vrtual" sys-
tems.

EIST
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dynam-
cally adjust processor voltage and core frequency, whch can result n de-
creased average power consumpton and decreased average heat produc-
ton. When dsabled, the processor wll return the actual maxmum CPUID
nput value of the processor when quered.
