Execute Disable Bit° Can improve protection against malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when properly enabled with a supporting operating system. Intel® Extended Memory 64 TechnologyΦ Provides flexibility for future applications that support both 32-bit and 64-bit computing. Dual-Core Two physical cores in one processor support better system responsiveness and multi-tasking capability than a comparable single core processor. Intel® Virtualization TechnologyΦ Intel® Virtualization Technology enables one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. For businesses, it offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, it allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members looking to use the same platform simultaneously. (supported only on 900 sequence).

Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology. ° Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality. Φ Intel® Virtualization Technology and Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T) require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers and applications designed for these features. Performance will vary depending on your configuration. Contact your vendor for more information.
