Description
In order to mask the physical CPUID for
Proscott core when running WinNT, Award
BIOS provides "Limit CPUID MaxVal" feature.
Enabling this feature will make the main board
BIOS respond "suitable", "virtual" CPUID to
OS kernel. So WinNT or the legacy OS can
use the masked CPUID to work well with the
new CPU design.
It can help prevent certain classes of malicious
buffer overflow attacks when combined with a
supporting operating system.
