Planning to buy a computer,first hits your mind is speed and RAM memory size.
CPU, motherboard, Memory are the key which you need to decide for a speedy computer.
The CPU ( Central processing unit) microprocessors indication of processing speed, is the clock speed of the chip measured in hertz. The the theory goes that the higher the number of mega or gigahertz, the faster the processor.
The main unit inside the computer is the CPU. This unit is responsible for all events inside the computer. It controls all internal and external devices, performs arithmetic and logic operations. The operations a microprocessor performs are called the instruction set of this processor. The instruction set is “hard wired” in the CPU and determines the machine language for the CPU. The more complicated the instruction set is, the slower the CPU works. Processors differ from one another by the instruction set. If the same program can run on two different computer brands they are said to be compatible. Programs written for IBM compatible computers will not run on Apple computers because these two architectures are not compatible
SecurAble helps you to determine the architecture of your system (whether it is x86 or x64) and to check whether it supports hardware virtualization and hardware DEP. SecurAble explores your CPU processor and verifies presence/ absence as well as operational status of these most important security related CPU features.
64-bit (X64) instruction extensions.
Checks for hardware support to detect and prevent code execution in program data.
Verifies hardware support for Virtualization Technology.
CPUs with 64-bit architecture will support 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista and Windows 7 OS and have OS kernel locked down. Buffer overflow attack exploitation can be stopped with the help of Hardware-enforced DEP.
SecurAble can be downloaded free of charge from the internet and requires no installation.
