Hyper Treading with a single Pentium 4 Northwood.

I know this features is enabled on Pentium 4 Xeon, but I also know it's a feature all P4's have, but how do I enabled it ?

I have a P4 1.8A and a Asus P4T-E Mobo.

Is this possible through BIOS settings, a BIOS upgrade maybe ?..

Just for the record. I haven't had my system up yet. I'm building this from scratch and I just wanted to know this before I lit it up 😱)

 
Motherboard manufacturers have not made the BIOS setting available to desktop Socket 478 Pentium 4 processors.

The option is only present for Socket 603 Pentium 4 XEON processors based on the Prestonia/Northwood core.

The ASUS P4T-E (and every other consumer class Pentium 4 motherboard) does not support SMT/Hyperthreading/Jackson Technology.
 
Welcome to the AT forums and congratulations Soda, your first post and you got FAQ'ed 😀
 
Dapunisher -> Golly... And I thought I new alot, but I guess I didn't. Well you can't win'em all.

I've been searching the FAQ but couldn't find it.

Anyway it's better to go get your info where people know things.

Maybe you can tell me where I can find roadmaps of Intel and AMD's future chipsets and processors then ? - Just seaching for words like "roadmap", "Intel" and "AMD" got me nowhere on Anandtech's front page. Nor did it give me any real information on the other big hardware pages: Firingsquad (mostly game reviews here though), Tom's Hardware, AceHardware (Didn't think it's a hardware pageanymore?!?) etc etc.

Thanks again..
