hi all
i was just browsing through the intel website and i ran into something important, i recently ordered a p4 with hyper threading technology and intel had sumthing to say about that :
Microsoft Operating Systems
The following desktop operating systems include optimizations for Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology)† and are currently eligible to carry the new Intel
Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology logo:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition*
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition*
The following desktop operating systems are not recommended for use with Hyper-Threading Technology. If you are using one of the following desktop operating systems, it is advised that you should disable Hyper-Threading Technology in the system BIOS Setup program:
Microsoft Windows 2000* (all versions)
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0*
Microsoft Windows Me*
Microsoft Windows 98*
Microsoft Windows 98 SE*
this blows cock, im getting my new comp soon w/ win2k installed and i havent used anything diffrent andi dont feel like i want to switch to xp unless this shit really does affect my cpu speed.

Thanks for your time.

why would it suck - hyper threading came out long after win2k - maybe if they released a patch
it does work under 2k as far as i know.......

HT does work with W2k. It does not work as elegantly as XP. The basic difference, as I understand it, is that XP can stop the processes of one thread when there is a competition for resources (especially in the internal cache) between the two threads being processed simultaneously. W2k just lets them continue to compete, which slows down both threads.
