Intel(R) Virtualization Tech
Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a
platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in indepen-
dent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function
as multiple "Virtual" systems.

Execute Disable Bit Capability
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of
malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting
operating system. 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.

Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) tech
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to
dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can
result in decreased average power consumption and decreased aver-
age heat production.
