I dont have a hardware problem but Idont know which group to ask, but
Im sure someone will advise. I run sisoft on my system and it tells me
that Hyperthreading is not properly installed. Im useing a p4 3.2ghz
with hypertheading. Ive read through several posts that say to check
device manager and bios. Bios is enabled for hyperthreading, and in
device manager the computer shows as ACPI Multiprocessor. Im using xp
home which from what Ive read supports hyperthreading. Ive been
searching for a solution and the only ones I can find refer to either
bios or device manager not showing correct details. Also in system
info and task manager only one cpu shows. Can anybody through some
light on this. As I say its not causing any conflict issues just
annoying to have something and not use it. Thanks in advance
Regards Robert

Sandra has been wrong before - why not check with Windows to see if HT
is in use: use Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Task Manager, then click
on Performance, then on View, then on CPU History -- if it offers you
a choice of "...All CPUs" or "...Per CPU" then HT is in place.
