A31 pin mod for P4 to enable HT? Stay tuned...

Overclockers Forum

Has a group that is also involved in the testing.

So far the results have been nil.

But the guys at Hardforums are working on microcode, in the BIOS, next to see if that is the key. RiStaR is also working on sending a low signal to the pin to see if its a hi/lo switch rather than off/on. Alot of the effort has to do with Japanese sites working with HT in Williamette and Northwood cores using a modified Linux kernel. If software could activate the HT function then they'll figure it out. It may be a Windows issue just as much as a BIOS issue. Then again, some interconnections may simply not be connected on the chips and al this is futile. Aww, the challenge of proving the truth... 😉

I imagine that it's 'nuetered' in the latter way, making all of this futile. Still interesting though. I didn't even realize that HT was built into the older cores .. maybe I should read more... but it's hard when you can't afford the toys 🙂

I know how that goes! 😉

I can afford but it takes two to spend money sometimes...
