i basically dont know what it does my processor is supposed to support it

it came disabled by default im wonder if i should turn it on and y or y not if u have a question my sig wont answer then ask and ill try and respond quickly

used mostly for games and browsing
 
Its useful for anything multi-threaded or SMP-aware. Games like Quake 3/4 are SMP aware. Its also extremely useful when multi-tasking.

There is basically no penalty (the only P4's that were penalized were Foster based Xeons). You should enable it.
 
it loads into x1 mode instead of what im assuming would be x16 mode

its a C3D x800 GTO running powercolor x800 XT BIOS
 
hmm...oh YEAH!!! you're the one who posted the thread on OT about your hate for dell. i totally agree with you on that...

topics aside, WTF is up with your mobo? it reverts to 1x for absolutely no reason. go into windows, download a program called "cpu-z" and in one of those tabs in the program, it'll say what pci-e mode it is running on.

but yes, DEFINITELY enable hyper-threading. thats basically a good reason why the prescott core p4's are still alive (joking of course and not wanting to start a flame war). you will see a boost in multithreaded programs (latest version of winrar, photoshop, quake 3/4, cod2, etc) and probably overall performance as well. and your FSB will raise from 533FSB to 800FSB.
 
i believe my FSB should be at 800MHz but i already enabled it havnt noticed it yet but all ive done is surffed AT for an hour
