P4S8X-X Hyperthreading
Hi all,
I have an Intel P4 3.06Ghz Hyperthreading Processor running P4S8X-X with Windows XP Home (All latest Service packs installed). Looking at my system: Windows Device Manager shows ACPI Multiprocessor PC 2 Processors are listed under Processors So Far So Good. (Apparently XP Home *does* support Hyperthreading) So why do Benchmarking and Diagnostic Programmes (SiSoft Sandra, Aquamark) tell me that Hyperthreading present, but disabled? Additionally, I read that if HT is working properly, there should be two processor graphs in Windows Task Manager? I only have one. Any ideas on how to Enable Hyperthreading. (And yes, it is enabled in the Bios TIA RJ http://www.stats.rjnc.com - Free Private Web Stats |

XP Pro and Home both support HT. Home
doesn't support 2 physical CPU's. Only XP Pro does. Did you install the CPU while XP was installed? Or did you install the CPU before you installed XP? If you DID install/replace the CPU while XP was still installed, that maybe why there's only 1 CPU graph in Task Manager? "RJ" wrote in message ...
