Hyper-threading
This option is congured to activate or deactivate the CPU Hyper Thread-
ing Technology. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology uses resources ef-
ciently, enabling multiple threads to run on each core, and increasing
processor throughput.
Execute Disable Bit
Execute Disable Bit (EDB) is a hardware-based security feature that in-
troduced to its new generation CPU by Intel, which can help reduce sys-
tem exposure to viruses and malicious code. EDB allows the processor to
classify areas in memory where application code can or
cannot execute.
To use Execute Disable Bit you must have Windows XP SP2 operating
system to support this function.
