the components whenever needed. Select Disabled to enhance system stability. 
The options are Disabled and Enabled.
Hardware Prefetcher (Available when supported by the CPU)
If set to Enabled, the hardware pre fetcher will pre fetch streams of data and instruc-
tions from the main memory to the L2 cache in the forward or backward manner to 
improve CPU performance. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch (Available when supported by the CPU)
The CPU fetches the cache line for 64 bytes if this option is set to Disabled. The 
CPU fetches both cache lines for 128 bytes as comprised if Enabled. 
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Available when supported by the CPU)
Select Enabled to use the feature of Virtualization Technology to allow one platform 
to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions, creat-
ing multiple "virtual" systems in one physical computer. The options are Enabled 
and Disabled. Note: If there is any change to this setting, you will need to power 
off and restart the system for the change to take effect. Please refer to Intel’s web 
site for detailed information. 
Execute-Disable Bit Capability (Available when supported by the OS and 
the CPU)
Set to Enabled to enable the Execute Disable Bit which will allow the processor 
to designate areas in the system memory where an application code can execute 
and where it cannot, thus preventing a worm or a virus from fl ooding illegal codes 
to overwhelm the processor or damage the system during an attack. The default is 
Enabled. (Refer to Intel and Microsoft Web Sites for more information.)
Simultaneous Multi-Threading (Available when supported by the CPU)
Set to Enabled to use the Hyper-Threading Technology, which will result in increased 
CPU performance. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
Active Processor Cores
Set to Enabled to use a processor's Second Core and beyond. (Please refer to 
Intel's web site for more information.) The options are All, 1 and 2.
Intel® EIST Technology
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to automatically 
adjust processor voltage and core frequency in an effort to reduce power consump-
tion and heat dissipation.  Please refer to Intel’s web site for detailed information. 
The options are Disable and Enable.
