Hyper-threading
Enables this field for Windows XP and Linux which are optimized for Hyper-Threading
technology. Select disabled for other OSes not optimized for Hyper-Threading technol-
ogy. When disabled, only one thread per enabled core is enabled.
Active Processor Cores
Number of cores to enable in each processor package.
Limit CPUID Maximum
The CPUID instruction of some newer CPUs will return a value greater than 3. The
default is Disabled because this problem does not exist in the Windows series operat-
ing systems. If you are using an operating system other than Windows, this problem
may occur. To avoid this problem, enable this field to limit the return value to 3 or
lesser than 3.
Intel Virtualization Technology
When this field is set to Enabled, the VMM can utilize the additional hardware capabili-
ties provided by Vanderpool Technology.
