Hello there
How do I know if the processor installed on the machine supports hyper
threading or not?
Thanks in advance

Look it up on Intels web sight or if your motherboards bios
supports it you should see a setting to enable it.

You can also open the machine and look for the Intel logo. It should have a
HT abbreviation if it does.

If your BIOS supports hyperthreading and the setting for it is active
then open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and go to the Performance
tab.

If your CPU supports hyperthreading there will be two CPU Usage and
CPU Usage History items shown there.

Good luck

Dear All

have some dual machines here
Thanks all that was very helpful

Just a note, if you have Dual CPU's that are both HT, you should see 4
CPU's in XP (under Device Manager and Task Manager).
