CPU feature
► PPM Function
You can enable PPM (Processor Power Management) through this item.
► EIST Function
You can select the EIST through this item. Setting values: [Native Mode] (For fully support
ACPI OS, e.g. Windows XP, Vista); [SMM Mode] (For legacy OS, e.g. Windows2000).
► Turbo Mode Function
This item is used to enable Intel Turbo mode.
► CxE Function
CxE represents Enhanced HALT State. It is a feature which Intel CPU uses to reduce power
consumption when in halt state. User can select the lowest C state supported according to
CPU and MB. Options are: Auto, Disable, C1, C1E, C3 and C6.
► Execute Disable Bit
This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature.
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer
overflow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application
code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the
buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation.
Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks,
reducing the need for virus-related repairs. By combining Execute Disable Bit with anti-virus,
firewall, spyware removal, e-mail filtering software, and other network security measures, IT

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology (EIST) allows the system to dynamically adjust
processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in decreased average power
consumption and decreased average heat production. There are some system require-
ments must be met, including CPU, chipset, motherboard, BIOS and operation system.
