MS-98M9
▶ CPU Configuration
▶ Enable Intel TXT
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) is a set of hardware extensions
to Intel® processors and chipsets that enhance the digital office platform with
security capabilities such as measured launch and protected execution. Intel
Trusted Execution Technology provides hardware-based mechanisms that
help protect against software-based attacks and protects the confidentiality
and integrity of data stored or created on the client PC.
Important
• TXT function is available with graphics card installed on PCIE2~5.
▶ VMX
Enable or disable Intel Virtual Machine Extensions (VMX) for IA-32 processors
that support Intel® Vanderpool Technology
▶ Hyper-Threading (ALL)
The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates
and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores
inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions
simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If
you disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the
instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn't support
HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.
▶ Autonomous Core C-State
This setting controls the C-State (CPU Power state). C-State performance
indicates the ability to run the processor in lower power states when the PC is
idle. This setting enables/disables the C-State Configuration for power saving
purposes.
