HYPERTHREADING

[Leythos]

No, I didn't but I'll look into it. I did update the drivers for the
processor. Thanks for your help

When you updated it, and you picked ACPI Multiprocessor, did it work for
you?

The ECS board does not support hyperthreading. See the differences in
the specs.

It came with a big sign that says it does and there customer support thinks
it does. When booted it diplays a HT notice

Nowhere in the specifications from ECS does it say that that board
supports HT. You stated that there was not a enable disable for
HT in the BIOS. Put out another $100 for an Intel chipset board
For your CPU the Intel 875 would be the best bet IMHO. There
are too many problems with VIA chipsets.

Hi, 'There are too many problems with VIA chipsets' mind qualifying that
statement?
I have had no issues with Via chipsets whatsoever....

I also have this problem now, i just did a reinstal from what was working as
far as Ht . the only thing i changed was i added a drive "now using raid 0"
my mb is intel D856PERL with 3Gig Prescott chip. but as i said the HT worked
fine before i reinstaled to a Raid config now i dont have any processor
showing in device manager what so ever and confused ! any comments ?

No, I don't, but what happens you add the multi-processor to it?

well i cant seam to be able to i have tried a few differant ideas but as i
said when opening the device manager i dont have a proccessor tab nor do i
have any acpi within the system devices tab, hmm i think something went a
miss during install. well anyway it runs fine just not the same as before the
drive swap.

Sorry, I should have been more specific - the Processor type is listed
under the "Computer" branch in the Device Tree - it should say something
like ACPI Uniprocessor or ACPI Multiprocessor. You change it by doing an
autodetect or by doing an Update Driver.
