I really don't know what Clint was thinking.......
First of all, posting a lnk to an overview of an function with only a few lines of describing the intention of said function is not by any means considered a "proof" or valid argument...not by me anyway.
(it says nothing of the "cost" now, does it?)

Execute Disable Bit and Data Execution Prevention (DEP) are intimately close to each other, they WILL lower your systems efficiency due to the characteristics of "things".

NOTE: I write "characteristics of things" only because I've already promised certain mods here not to be so harsh on the "less knowledgeable" here.

Please please go out there and gather some info, and prefereably a more indepth one than that one you gave.

Anyway, I would disable Execute Disable Bit in BIOS

and DEP with this: (from Start Menu/Run)

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

This WILL have an positive effect, trust me.
