XP Pro Hyper Threading

[moemac8]

I have a 2.8 p4C with HT. Do I need XP Pro to utilize HT. I have XP Home right now. Is it worth it to by Pro?

It is never worth it to buy a microsoft product.

How's that for a useful response.

If you're doing things that would be aided by using SMP (encoding, etc.) then I'd say yes.

No, both versions of XP are HT-enabled.

So XP Home is Hyper Threaded enabled but will not support real dual processors? Good, I really didnt want to have to buy XP Pro just to get HT working. Thanks

Exactly, it supports HT, just not SMP (true dual processors).
