CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The mainboard supports Intel® Penryn/Core 2 Duo/Core Duo/Celeron M proces­sors 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 supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

2-4

Hardware Setup

Socket P CPU Installation

1. Locate the CPU socket on the
mainboard.

2. Place the CPU on top of the socket. Make sure that you align the gold arrow on the
CPU with the arrow key on the socket.

3. Push the CPU down until its pins securely fit into the socket.

4. On the front end of the CPU socket is a locking mechanism designed into the form
of a screw head. Make sure that you actuate or deactuate this mechanism with

CPU Configuration

BIOS Setup

Hardware Prefetcher

The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically analyzes its re­quirements 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 hard­ware 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 sup­ports 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 “virtual ” systems.

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 mes­sages 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
