IGX Configuration
The settings in this submenu are synchronous to those under the same items on the MB Intelligent
Tweaker(M.I.T.) main menu.
AMD C6 Support
Allows the CPU frequency to be adjusted automatically. (Default: Disabled)
Virtualization
Virtualization allows a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent parti-
tions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems.
(Default: Disabled)
AMD K8 Cool&Quiet control
Auto Lets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to re-
duce heat output from your computer and its power consumption. (Default)
Disabled Disables this function.
C-state Pmin
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C-state mode in system halt state. When enabled,
the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power con-
sumption. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto)
Hard Disk Boot Priority
Specifies the sequence of loading the operating system from the installed hard drives. Use the up or
down arrow key to select a hard drive, then press the plus key <+> (or <PageUp>) or the minus key <-> (or
<PageDown>) to move it up or down on the list. Press <Esc> to exit this menu when finished.
EFI CD/DVD Boot Option
Set this item to EFI if you want to install the operating system to a hard drive larger than 2.2 TB. Make
sure the operating system to be installed supports booting from a GPT partition, such as Windows 7 64-
bit and Windows Server 2003 64-bit. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting depending
on the hard drive you install. (Default: Auto)
