This message specifically means that the CPU isn't allowing EST to be 
enabled, even though the CPU has the capability.  I think the BIOS can 
lock this down, like VT on later processors.  Though I can't imagine 
why, unless the machine is being sold as a cheaper/slower system than 
the CPU they put in it...

What does the SMM patch do?
