Ok guys i got one for you... Im running this intel system with a asus P4P800-E with a prescot 3.2 @ 3.75 all stable primed 8 hours before i shut it off and it was still going.. Well here is the problem today i installed black hawk down and while i was playing i wanted to msg a friend on AIM WELL i alt tab out and hit AIM.. its taking FOREVER!! so i hit task manager and my cpu is at 100%.. The H/T is not working!!! So i check my bios and its turned on and everything is fine.. What the HECK am i missing? Is my board damaged? The thing is i seen this chip on my friends board and i seen it H/T fine. He primed it and i watched it say 50% while primeing... PLSSS HELP!!!



Matt

Click the "Performance" tab. Your game is using one CPU @ 100% (50% total) and the other apps are using the other CPU (100%, 50% total) . That would bee 100% of your available CPU power. On the performance tab you should see TWO CPU usage history graphs. That means your HT is working.

Whay OS are you running, just to make sure?

nope no go man.. only one! one big one just like my amd! Also running Windows Xp bulid 2600 with Sp2

Home or Pro......

Good call Aaron...

XP Home only supports one CPU.

Well i figured it out guys. When i first install my os after format i TWEEK THE CRAP out of it. I have like 15 reg entrys i use and one of them are for increase cpu priority and core preformance. Thats what did it, Somehow it disabled the H/T. So i just formated again and thats when i figed it out. Thanks for all your time pimps

Wow, how did you get much of an oc? Just curious, cuz I've got the same board (deluxe edition) w/ a p4 3.0 pressy in it. It's not oc'd, but I'm considering it.

Really? I don't know why it works perfectly for me then..

Edit: I see, good to see you've sorted it out.

Yeah I have XP Home and it shows both CPU's.

XP Home support only 1 Physical CPU, it supports up to 32 logical however. HT would be considered logical.

Thats odd - I had a completely fresh XP Home install when I switched from my 2.4 celeron to my 3.2 prescott HT and I could not get two processors to show until I did a reformat. I figured if I was going to do a reformat I might as well put Pro on.

Yep.. never had an issue with mine, (knock on wood) I used pro and home.

These pressys overclock like a Mbarton As long as you got some good ram to back it up.. This TCCD works wonders 2-3-3-6 at 240 FSB 2.85V if i had a tad bit more voltage to feed the ram im sure i could drop the timmings down a lil or push the ram a lil higher, The CPU is NOT ready to stop just yet. I had it at 4Ghz at 1.5V and benched in sandra scored almost a 6000 PR.

So far i like this intel. BUT im sorry im still AMD at heart

OMFG 70 processes WOW!! Thats crazy!! i thought my 27 was alot! ... I hate to see your benchmarks if you benched like that.. Even everyday use would be hard ...

thats because xp uses a diferent processor kernal for single and multi proccessor computers, and the only way to get the different kernal, you have to reinstal.

Good info Thanks Ill have to store that in my file for fixes for strange problems file, hah

Well thats tru to in extent... I have a tweek that will make a multi cpu to one.... without reinstal.. Say your running a P4 with H/T and dont wanna run it anymore.. LOL "like this would happan" but just use the tweek and it disables H/T through the OS..
