Limit CPUID Max. to 3
Allows you to determine whether to limit CPUID maximum value. Set this item to Disabled for
Windows XP operating system; set this item to Enabled for legacy operating system such as
Windows NT4.0. (Default: Disabled)
No-Execute Memory Protect
Enables or disables Intel
the computer, reducing exposure to viruses and malicious buffer overflow attacks when working
with its supporting software and system. (Default: Enabled)
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
Enables or disables Intel
system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during
system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled)
C2/C2E State Support
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C2/C2E mode in system halt state. When
enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to descrease
power consumption. (Default: Disabled)
C4/C4E State Support
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C4/C4E mode in system halt state. When
enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to descrease
power consumption. C4/C4E state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C2/C2E. This
item is configurable only if the C2/C2E State Support option is enabled. (Default: Disabled)
CPU Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2)
Enables or disables Intel
function. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced when the CPU is
overheated. (Default: Enabled)
CPU EIST Function
Enables or disables Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST). Depending on CPU loading,
Intel EIST technology can dynamically and effectively lower the CPU voltage and core frequency
®
to decrease average power consumption and heat production. (Default: Enabled)
Virtualization Technology
Enables or disables Intel
Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent
partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems.
(Default: Enabled)
Delay For HDD (Secs)
Allows you to set a delay time for the BIOS to initialize the hard drive as the system boots up.
The adjustable range is from 0 to 15 seconds. (Default: 0)
Full Screen LOGO Show
Allows you to determine whether to display the GIGABYTE Logo at system startup. Disabled
displays normal POST message. (Default: Enabled)
