Execute Disable Bit
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 Virtualization Technology
Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization 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.
