IcemanND Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 You'll want ACPI. The main difference is power management.DEP:Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a set of hardware and software technologies that perform additional checks on memory to help prevent malicious code from running on a system. In Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, DEP is enforced by hardware and by software.The primary benefit of DEP is to help prevent code execution from data pages. Typically, code is not executed from the default heap and the stack. Hardware-enforced DEP detects code that is running from these locations and raises an exception when execution occurs. Software-enforced DEP can help prevent malicious code from taking advantage of exception-handling mechanisms in Windows.Back to the top"OEM PREINSTALL" - depends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tijuana Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 about DEP: if you want extreme security, set it to "always on", for increased (default) security, set it to "optin". If you (like me) hate those annoying messages confirming that you really want to load an app you just downloaded or the activex installation blocking "feature", set it to "alwaysoff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
