BIOS Setup  
Hardware Prefetcher  
The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically analyzes its re-  
quirements and prefetches data and instructions from the memory into the  
Level 2 cache that are likely to be required in the near future. This reduces the  
latency associated with memory reads. When enabled, the processor's hard-  
ware prefetcher will be enabled and allowed to automatically prefetch data and  
code for the processor. When disabled, the processor's hardware prefetcher  
will be disabled.  
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch  
The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefetch mechanism that  
automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache line whenever the processor  
requests for a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cache latency by making the  
next cache line immediately available if the processor requires it as well. When  
enabled, the processor will retrieve the currently requested cache line, as well  
as the subsequent cache line. When disabled, the processor will only retrieve  
the currently requested cache line.  
Max CPUID Value Limit  
The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent problems  
with older operating systems that do not support the Intel Pentium 4 processor  
with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled, the processor will limit the  
maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if the processor sup-  
ports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the  
actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried.  
Intel(R) Virtualization Tech  
Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform  
to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions.  
With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtualsystems.  
Execute Disable Bit Capability  
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious  
"buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.  
This functionality 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 or worm propagation.  
Core Multi-Processing  
CMP (Core Multi Processing) is the ability to have many independent processing  
cores on a single die, each with their own L1 Code & Data caches, Local APICs  
& thermal controls, while having a shared L2 cache, power management & bus  
interface. Intel multi-core architecture has a single Intel processor package that  
contains two or more processor "execution cores," or computational engines to  
enable enhanced performance and more-efficient simultaneous processing of  
multiple tasks.

BIOS Setup  
Quick Boot  
Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some  
of its tests during bootup for faster system boot.  
Quiet Boot  
This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes-  
sages with the motherboard or system manufacturer's full-screen logo.  
When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up  
sequence, hiding normal POST messages.  
When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of  
the full-screen logo.  
Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to  
the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a  
sufficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this  
BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.  
AddOn ROM Display Mode  
This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is  
initialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI  
BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of  
optional ROM.  
Bootup Num-Lock  
This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on.  
Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on.  
Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.  
PS/2 Mouse Support  
Select [Enabled] if you need to use a PS/2-interfaced mouse in the operating  
system.  
Wait For F1If Error  
When this setting is set to [Enabled] and the boot sequence encounters an  
error, it asks you to press F1. If disabled, the system continues to boot without  
waiting for you to press any keys.  
Hit DELMessage Display  
Set this option to [Disabled] to prevent the message as follows:  
Hit Del if you want to run setup  
It will prevent the message from appearing on the first BIOS screen when the  
computer boots. Set it to [Enabled] when you want to run the BIOS Setup Utility.  
Interrupt 19 Capture  
Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When  
enabled, this BIOS feature allows the ROM BIOS of these host adaptors to  
"capture" Interrupt 19 during the boot process so that drives attached to these  
adaptors can function as bootable disks. In addition, it allows you to gain ac-  
cess to the host adaptor's ROM setup utility, if one is available.  
When disabled, the ROM BIOS of these host adaptors will not be able to "cap-  
ture" Interrupt 19. Therefore, you will not be able to boot operating systems  
from any bootable disks attached to these host adaptors. Nor will you be able to  
gain access to their ROM setup utilities.

DVMT Mode Select  
Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) allows the system to dynami-  
cally allocate memory resources according to the demands of the system at any  
point in time. The key idea in DVMT is to improve the efficiency of the memory  
allocated to either system or graphics processor.  
It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to DVMT Mode for maximum  
performance. Setting it to DVMT Mode ensures that system memory is dynami-  
cally allocated for optimal balance between graphics and system performance.  
DVMT/FIXED Memory  
When set to DVMT/FIXED Mode, the graphics driver will allocate a fixed
