I thought that I would up my performance so I bought a P4-3.06 HT and was
going to replace the P4-2.4 in my ASUS P4T533 motherboard, which is a
revision 1.03 with BIOS 1.06, heat sink on chipset not fan. PC Power and
Cooling 450 ATX-PFC watt power supply. Well the BOIS recognized it just
fine, XP started once and I was able to see the P4-3.06 showing as 2
processors as it does with an HT cpu, and then all kinds of problems began,
blue screens, looping restarts, etc. Has anyone ever been successful
upgrading from a non-HT processor to an HT processor? Thanks, Mike


I can tell you that when I changed MBs with the same CPU that I had a
buggar of a time booting. I had to temporarily install another hard
drive. The reason was the I couldn't get the CDRom drive recognized to
reinstall or repair windoze. My old windoze rescue floppy disks
refused to work.

If you're having a problem getting to the point where you can repair
windoze or reinstall from the CDRom, then you might have to install
another HD temporarily. Or in your case, your windoze floppy booter
should work. You did make one, right?
