Re: P4 2.4C times

Hi frodo and Stratcat,

I think frodo is right.  This is because I can't find any HT entry for
my notebook BIOS.  Even though from Intel's WinCPID, I can see that my
notebook actually HT detected but not enabled.  So, I am kind of
curious is there any way to enable the HT, so that I can run some of
my multi-threaded application faster.

I have another machine which is HT detected but not enabled.  I
wondering is there any way to upgrade to a new BIOS, so that I can
have a HT-enable machine?



Frodo and Stratcat, thanks for responding to my post.

Regards,
Casey

Hm,
I have the suspicion that this feature may not be present in a lot of
notebook BIOSes, because of the desire to make battery life look
respectable. or to avoid the processor becoming cooked.

Hi everyone,

Seem to be a hot HT topic here....
But I wondering is anyone here know how to enable HT on a Compaq

 notebook?


Seeing as no one responded to your post (at least as seen on my

 newserver),

I'll toss out some ideas, even though I own neither a notebook, nor a
Compaq.

Ascertain your cpu is HT capable (P4B 3.06. / P4C 2.4 - 3.2).

Ascertain you have an HT supported OS (W2K, WXP, WXPRO, WSK3

Enable HT in your Bios, if Compaq allows access to this function.

If using WIN*: CTR+ALT+DELETE to open the taskmanager. Pull down
view/CPU History/One Graph Per CPU. If you now see two cpu 'Usage
History' graphs, you're HT enabled.

Otherwise, try one of the alt.comp n/g's more specific to your machine/OS.

HTH
