HT on all p4's? riiiight.

Had a guy tell me today he enabled HT on his computer and it made his 1.8 run a heck of a lot faster.

Before I bust out laughing....it is only 3.06's that have HT right now correct? Unless you are lucky enough to have a ES...

LOL, he's like Dumbo with the magic feather...

Hyperthreading is for the 3.06, the 3.00C, and Xeons so far, unless I am mega-mistaken

 

[tranceport]

Thats what I thought. I tried to explain it to him but... Well.. You know how that goes....


"...it made a big difference. Windows booted up really quickly..."

Supposedly HT is on certain Intel CPU's but there is no way of enabling it.

Maybe he overclocked it and doesn't know the difference...

im prety sure its present on all cpus (or maybe just C1's) but not enabled (hafta connect bridges down on wafer level or soething along those lines...pretty much impossible without a fab factory and the right tools and knowing which to connect and wahtnot)

i agree, maybe he just changed the cpu freq and thinks it enable ht lol

Probably looked in WCPUID and saw it was enabled and was like woohoo!
