Enhance Halt State
All processors support the Halt State (C1). The C1 state is supported
through the native processor instructions HLT and MWAIT and requires no
hardware support from the chipset. In the C1 power state, the processor
maintains the context of the system caches.
Intel (R) Virtualization tech.
When this option is set to [Enabled], a VMM (Virtual Machine Architecture)
can utilize the additional hardware capabilities provided by Vanderpool
Technology. This option will be hidden if the installed CPU does not support
Intel (R) Virtualization Technology.
CPU Thermal Throttling
You may select [Enabled] to enable P4 CPU internal thermal control mecha-
nism to keep the CPU from overheated.
No-Excute Memory Protection
No-Execution (NX) Memory Protection Technology is an enhancement to
the IA-32 Intel Architecture. An IA-32 processor with "No Execute (NX)
Memory Protection" can prevent data pages from being used by malicious
software to execute code. This option will be hidden if the current CPU
does not support No-Excute Memory Protection.
Hyper Threading Technology
To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel Pentium
4 processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating
system that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft
Windows XP or Vista
® TM
Vista , or Linux kernel version 2.4.18 or higher. This option will be hidden
TM
if the installed CPU does not support Hyper-Threading technology.
This should be enabled
in order to enable or
disable the "Enhanced
Halt State".
