Hyper-Threadng Functon 
The processor uses Hyper-Threadng technology to ncrease transacton rates and 
reduces end-user response tmes. The technology treats the two cores nsde the 
processor as two logcal processors that can execute nstructons smultaneously.  In 
ths way, the system performance s hghly mproved. If you dsable the functon, the 
processor wll use only one core to execute the nstructons. Please dsable ths tem 
f your operatng system doesn’t support HT Functon, or unrelablty and nstablty 
may occur.
Important
Enablng the  functonalty of  Hyper-Threadng Technology  for your  computer system 
requres ALL of the followng platform Components:
CPU: An Intel
® 
Processor wth HT Technology;
Chpset: An Intel
® 
Chpset that supports HT Technology;
BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has t enabled; 
OS: An operatng system that supports HT Technology.

Execute Bt Support
Intel’s  Execute  Dsable  Bt  functonalty  can  prevent  certan  classes  of  malcous 
“buer overow” attacks when combned wth a supportng operatng system. Ths 
functonalty allows the processor to classfy areas n memory by where applcaton 
code can execute and where t cannot. When a malcous worm attempts to nsert 
code n the buer, the processor dsables code executon, preventng damage or 
worm propagaton.
Set Lmt CPUID MaxVal to 3
The Max CPUID Value Lmt s desgned lmt the lsted speed of the processor to 
older operatng systems.
Intel Vrtualzaton Tech
Ths tem s used to enable/dsable the Intel Vrtualzaton technology. For further 
nformaton please refer to Intel’s ocal webste.
Intel EIST
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of 
the mcroprocessor whether the computer s runnng on battery or AC power. Ths eld 
wll appear after you nstalled the CPU whch supports speedstep technology. 
C1E Support
To enable ths tem to read the CPU power consumpton whle dle. Not all processors 
support Enhanced Halt state (C1E). 
Intel Turbo Boost
Ths tem wll appear when you nstall a CPU wth Intel Turbo Boost technology. Ths 
tem s used to enable/ dsable Intel Turbo Boost technology. It can scale processor 
frequency hgher dynamcally when applcatons demand more performance and TDP 
headroom exsts. It also can delver seamless power scalablty (Dynamcally scale up, 
Speed-Step Down). It s the Intel newly technology wthn 3/ 5/ 7 CPU.
