i am about to upgrade my celleron 2.66 laptop to a 3.2 p4 ht cpu.
according to the laptop manual the mb can work with the p4 3.2 cpu.

my question is this: can a hyper-threading cpu work on a motherboard that doesn't support hyper-threading?

thank in advance
Nick

The Answer is : Absolutely not, If something isn't Supported by one of the Ends, be it The Motherboard or the CPU, you cannot take advantage of it or even enable it. I'm sorry my dropping in that P4 with H/T CPU in a P4 (Non H/T Motherboard) you've got a Non Ht P4 @ 3.2Ghz
