Hyper-Threading (ALL)
Select Enable to use Intel Hyper-Threading Technology to enhance CPU performance. The
options are Enable and Disable.
Monitor/Mwait
Select Enable to enable the Monitor/Mwait instructions in the processor. The options are
Auto, Enable and Disable.
Execute Disable Bit (Available if supported by the OS & the CPU)
Select Enable for Execute Disable Bit support which will allow the processor to designate
areas in the system memory where an application code can execute and where it cannot to
prevent a worm or a virus from fl ooding illegal codes to overwhelm the processor, causing
damages to the system during a virus attack. The options are Enable and Disable. (Refer to
Intel and Microsoft websites for more information.)
Intel Virtualization Technology (Available when two processors are installed on the
motherboard)
Select Enable to use Intel Virtualization Technology which will allow multiple workloads to
share the same set of common resources. On shared virtualized hardware, various workloads
(or tasks) can co-exist, sharing the same resources, while functioning in full independence
from each other, and migrating freely across multi-level infrastructures and scale as needed.
The settings are Enable and Disable.

Hardware Prefetcher (Available when supported by the CPU)
If this feature is set to Enable, the hardware prefetcher will prefetch streams of data and
instructions from the main memory to the Level 2 (L2) cache to improve CPU performance.
The options are Disable and Enable.
Adjacent Cache Prefetch (Available when supported by the CPU)
Select Enable for the CPU to prefetch both cache lines for 128 bytes as comprised. Select
Disable for the CPU to prefetch both cache lines for 64 bytes. The options are Disable and
