CPU (Central Processing Unit)  
The mainboard supports Intel® Penryn/Core 2 Duo/Core Duo/Celeron M proces-  
sors in Socket P. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat  
sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do  
not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install  
them before turning on the computer.  
Important  
1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make  
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.  
2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape)  
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.  
3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the  
power supplys power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the  
safety of CPU.

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.

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

is present, the motherboard boots up using that card. Otherwise, it defaults to  
the onboard graphics processor.  
PEG Force X1  
This BIOS feature allows you to convert a PCI Express X16 slot into a PCI  
Express X1 slot. When [Enabled], the PCI Express X16 slot will be forced to run  
in the PCI Express X1 mode. When [Disabled], the PCI Express X16 slot will be  
allowed to run in its normal PCI Express X16 mode.  
If you have a PCI Express X16 graphics card installed in your system, you  
should disable this BIOS feature. This allows for optimal performance of the  
card by ensuring maximum transfer rates between the graphics card and the  
motherboard.
