A+ Certification - How to know if a processor support support "execution protection"?

04-17-2006, 12:30 AM

Win XP Help says,"If your processor does not support
hardware-based DEP (Data Execution Prevention), it's a good
idea to upgrade to a processor that offers execution
protection features."

Now how do I know if a CPU support DEP or not? Mine is P4
2.6Ghz. Three years old.

You might try downloading EVEREST HOME EDITION and checking out the
CPU instruction sets.

Check the Intel site. They have a table of processors that includes that
information.
