plz ignore the red line question... back to this... even with HT enabled... it is not necessary for there to be 2 graphs.. it can be one graph... depending on the view mode.. try right clicking My Computer .. then Properties.. Go to hardware tab Click Device Manager button Find for the Processor Properties.. It should show two processors if you have HT .. it should look something like this :
Here is a pic of my device manager.. it only has one processor.. they guy that I am talking to on "help and supt" is really getting on my nerves. He wants to know WHY, I want it.. If I can have it.... then I want it.. I mean come one.. Here is a little bit of our Conversation.. I don't think he knows what he is doin.. He has said to hold on, he has to look for information... Bhanu P : Please give me more time to research on this issue and get back to you. Thanks very much for your patience. -----Original Message----- From: chris bogie Date: Sat, Jul 31, 2004 at 04:22:45 PM Your reply: chris bogie: I want hyperthreading turned on because I run many applications at one time... Video editing, gameing, music making, music editing... So, if I can enable HT, i would like to do it. I know that it helps with that, even if it is a little bit of help, I would like to do it... I mean, I baught this pc because it has HT, why would it come w/ HT, and they advertise HT if it isnt even enabled?? I dont get it.. Please just tell me, can it be done?? -----Original Message----- From: HP Call Center Date: Sat, Jul 31, 2004 at 04:19:51 PM Response to your request: Bhanu P : Chris, hyperthreading will be enabled on your system, however let me know the reason you are looking for Hyperthreading information?
I will be back in about 30 mins or so, I have to go get my wife from work.. The guy just gave me a link to a page that is suppose to give info on enabling HT.. If you would like to look over it while I'm gone and see what you think it would be awesome. http://www.intel.com/support/processors/pentium4/pentium4_ht.htm From what I have looked at, it says that a bios upgrade might have to be done to enable HT. And I just told him about that. Cause the version that I have now has nothing to do with HT.. Thanx guys. i will get right back as soon as I get back.. Thanx -----Original Message----- From: chris bogie Date: Sat, Jul 31, 2004 at 04:22:45 PM Your reply: chris bogie: I want hyperthreading turned on because I run many applications at one time...

sorry, I didn't mean to paste the conversation part again.. i was trying to paste the address for HT.. But, i will be back in about 30 mins or so.. thanx
hmmm .. i cant help you much ... try : http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?agr=Y&ProductID=1687&DwnldID=7595 its a tool by intel to test hardware/software for HT stuffz.. i will test this sofware with ht disabled...
He told me what was wrong. My processor only has a 400 FSB, and to have HT you need at least 533.. So I would have to get a new CPU.. which I was goin to do anyway... My board can go up to a 3.2 GHz Cpu.. So I am goin to try to get one of those pretty soon. But, thanx for all the help. I really appreciate it.. Thanx
That guy is almost correct. You need a 800MHz FSB processor with 'C" designation on the processor to enable HT. But make sure your motherboard supports HT before getting a new CPU.
yea, my motherboard supports it.. but I was wondering what you are talking about c designation or whatever about the cpu
Intel has all kinds of funny weird names for their processors. P4 2.0A - Northwood processor (bigger cache) P4 2.4B - Northwood + 533MHz FSB P4 2.4C - Northwood + 800MHz FSB + HT P4 2.4E - Prescott + 533MHz + no HT It is printed on the retail box.
mine is a p4 2.60 northwood.. The specifications for my model number says 800/533/400 MHz Mine is 400... I dont' get it though. why all 3 of those for the same model number??? wouldn't my model number have all that is in the specifacations?? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...en&cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c00041640 This link is the specification for my pc...
That is what your motherboard supports, nothing to do with the processor. I've just checked. There's a P4 2.6GHz version with 400MHz FSB and without HT.
Yea, I figured it out finally. All the people that I was talking to from HP was swearing that I had Hyperthreading.. It was really getting on my nerves.. AND About that utility... Here is a pic of the results.. I don't know if this means that it didn't pass, or if it didn't work right.. cause when I go to update it gives an error saying there is no browser.. to make sure that there is a browser located on my system..
another prob... There is another problem that I noticed when I went into the bios yesterday.. ON the first screen when you load it up.. where it says "installed memory" it says' Installed memory- 1024 MB/PC2100 NOW, when I baught the pc, it came with (2) 256 MB ddr333 PC2700, and I added 2 more DDR333 PC2700... SO... why does it say PC2100??? If it has it as that in the BIOS then my memory isn't as fast as it is supposed to be is it??? I told the guy about it last night from HP.. and he said that it is caused by the processor also.. He said that if I get a new processor with 533, or 800MHz FSB then it will solve that also.... Does that make any sense to you guys?? I swear, when I doubled the memory, it didn't seem to run any faster than before I added it.. Didn't make any sense
comfirmed.. you processor is a non-HT processor.. P4 2.6 with 400MHz Bus Speed - no HT P4 2.6 with 800MHz Bus Speed - HT
Cool, Yea, my board can take up to a 3.2, so I am goin to get one of those soon.. I need to find a good deal on it.. But, what do you think about the memory thing??
Re: another prob... i'm not quite sure bout that.. but its because it hase been limited by your CPU pentium 4 with 400mhz system bus - up to PC2100 (266mhz) pentium 4 with 533mhz system bus - up to PC2100 (266mhz) <-- i'm not sure bout this ... but i do beleive the divider is 1:1 pentium 4 with 800mhz system bus - up to PC3200 (400mhz)
