L1 Data Prefetch (Available when supported by the CPU)

Select Enabled to enable Level 1 data prefetch support to enhance system performance. For DP/MP servers, enable or disable this feature for system en- hancement based on the specifications of the application running in the system at the time. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

DCU Streamer Prefetcher (Available when supported by the CPU)

Select Enabled to support Data Cache Unite (DCU) prefetch to speed up data accessing and processing in the DCU to enhance CPU performance. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

DCU IP Prefetcher

Select Enabled for DCU (Data Cache Unit) IP Prefetcher support, which will prefetch IP addresses to improve network connectivity and system performance. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Available when supported by the CPU)

Select Enabled to support Intel Virtualization Technology, which will allow one platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent parti- tions, creating multiple "virtual" systems in one physical computer. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Note: If there is any change to this setting, you will need to power off and restart the system for the change to take effect. Please refer to Intel’s website for detailed information.)

Clock Spread Spectrum

Select Enable to enable Clock Spectrum support, which will allow the BIOS to monitor and attempt to reduce the level of Electromagnetic Interference caused by the components whenever needed. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
