Electromagnetic Interference caused by the components whenever needed. The
options are Disabled and Enabled.
Cores Enabled
This item allows the user to determine the number of CPU cores to be enabled.
Enter "0" to enable all cores. The default setting is 0, which enables all CPU cores
in the system.
Execute Disable Bit (Available if supported by the OS & the CPU)
Select Enable to support the Execute Disable Bit Technology which will allow the
processor to designate areas in the system memory where an application code
can execute and where it cannot, thus preventing a worm or a virus from flooding
illegal codes to overwhelm the processor to damage the system during an attack.
The options are Enable and Disable. (Refer to Intel's and Microsoft's websites for
more information.)
