Hyper-threading

[savejs]

Have P4 2.8c. Where in XP do I look to ensure hyper-thread is working?
Thanks

Do you suspect that it's not working?

Anyway, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Task Manager, either the Applications or Processes tab (processes IIRC), right click on a task and there should be something there about which processor it uses. Sorry, last time I used a HT-enabled PC was about 3 months ago--I'm a little fuzy on exactly how to do it, but it's in Task Manager.

If HT is enabled System Properties/Hardware/Device Manager/Processors will show you having 2 processors.

try experimenting:

like running a virusscan and playing games.

and see if it slows down badly.

if not HT works correctly.

It will also show 2 processors on programs such as SANDRA/ AIDA32.

When you see 2 cpus listd in device manager. Otherwise HT is only working if there is software running that will support HT, which is very few.

download aquamark3 benchmark, and run a test. This gaming app will tell if you have hyperthreading enabled processor.

you can download Aquamark3 benchmark @ Aquamark3.com

I went to AquaMark, but don't know what "test" to run, where it is, and what the results mean. I ran the first one and it came up at the TriScore ...GFX4890, CPU8671...Total?38,150. Is that good? Where is an explanation od site and results? Thanks
