Dumb Question (Has Been Answered): Do The 2.4c's Come With HT Enabled?

[Tetsuo]

From all the review I've read I dont really understand if they do or do not have HT enabled...I think it would be easier on my brain if someone here told me lol

They sure do....all 800mhz P4s have HT enabled

All 800MHz FSB P4 processors (2.4C, 2.6C, 2.8C, 3.0C, 3.2C) come with working Hyper Threading circuitry, yes. When you install one of these P4 processors in your motherboard, you can either enable your processor's HT or disable it in your motherboard's BIOS.

Sweet...$170 for a HT chip...no longer do i have to shell out $350++

thanks, no need for this anymore, close, lock, delete

Not so fast I just read a bunch of reviews and am confused as to whether or not the 3.06 is still the only CPU that has HT enabled at a bus speed of 533 Mhz. I know that HT is enabled in the newer 800Mhz C models, but is it only available at that FSB speed?

You can try again or just let me keep thinking you're an a$$, Wixt0r.

I *know* that HT is enabled in 800Mhz processors BUT my question was whether or not that is just at a FSB speed of 800Mhz. I run a RAMBUS board and the reviews/Intel white papers are unclear as to if HT is enabled on the C model processors at a FSB speed of 533, excluding the 3.06 Ghz CPU.

If you lower the FSB of, lets say, your 2.4C to 400MHz instead of it's native 800MHz you will still be able to enable HT. In other words, the P4's HT circuitry is in no way tied to the FSB you choose in your motherboard's BIOS.

Great! Thank you for your clear-cut answer! :beer:
