Question about HyperThreading

[prankster]

I just run PC Wizard 2005 and it's telling me that my cpu doesn't run Hyper threading. Do you guys know how to activate hyper threading? Do I have to install the driver downloaded from AMD website?

AMD doesn't use hyper-threading...

Hyperthreading is only available on Intel processorss only....

HT for AMD is not the same...That stands for HyperTransport and is not the same thing at all...It is part of the direct connect architecture of the K8 core.....It is what gives the K8 core the kick that beats the INtel chips. It is part of how the core is linked to other devices like pCI, etc....It is like a double decker 6 lane highway to Intel's single level 4-6 lane highway....

Thanks man! That clears up my confusion.

Actually I mistyped that HT. It's telling me that Bus Hyper transport is not active. How do I activate that?
