BIOS Setup
 fLimit CPUID Maximum [Disabled]
Enables or disables the extended CPUID value.
[Enabled]  BIOS limits the maximum CPUID input value to circumvent boot 
problems with older operating system that do not support the 
processor with extended CPUID value. 
[Disabled]  Use the actual maximum CPUID input value.
 fIntel Virtualization Tech [Enabled] 
Enables or disables Intel Virtualization technology. 
[Enabled]  Enables Intel Virtualization technology and allows a platform to run 
multiple operating systems in independent partitions. The system 
can function as multiple systems virtually.
[Disabled]  Disables this function.
 fIntel VT-D Tech [Disabled]
Enables or disables Intel VT-D (Intel Virtualization for Directed I/O) technology. 
 fHardware Prefetcher [Enabled]
Enables or disables the hardware prefetcher (MLC Streamer prefetcher).
[Enabled]  Allows the hardware prefetcher to automatically pre-fetch data 
and instructions into L2 cache from memory for tuning the CPU 
performance.
[Disabled]  Disables the hardware prefetcher.
 fAdjacent Cache Line Prefetch [Enabled]
Enables or disables the CPU hardware prefetcher (MLC Spatial prefetcher).
[Enabled]  Enables adjacent cache line prefetching for reducing the cache 
latency time and tuning the performance to the specific application.
[Disabled]  Enables the requested cache line only.
 fCPU AES Instructions [Enabled]
Enables or disables the CPU AES (Advanced Encryption Standard-New 
Instructions) support. This item appears when a CPU supports this function.
 fIntel Adaptive Thermal Monitor [Enabled]
Enables or disables the Intel adaptive thermal monitor function to protect the CPU 
from overheating.
[Enabled]  Throttles down the CPU core clock speed when the CPU is over the 
adaptive temperature.
[Disabled]  Disables this function.
 fIntel C-State [Auto]  
Enables or disables the Intel C-state. C-state is a processor power management 
technology defined by ACPI.
[Auto]  This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.
[Enabled]  Detects the idle state of system and reduce CPU power consumption 
accordingly.
[Disabled]    Disable this function.
