XP Hyper-Threading & sysprep

[Steve Adams]

I have a single master image that is deployed to 12 different hardware
platforms.

Our latest models have hyper-threading enabled.

After sysprep has run the 2 processors show up in hardware manager but
task manager only shows a single processor windows.
The pc is also described as ACPI so it looks like the right hal is loaded.


Any ideas why this might happen?

If both processors are showing up in hardware manager then it I assume
that hyperthreading is working correctly?

Any info appreciated,

Steve

In Task Manager, click on the Performance tab. Then click on View, then on
CPU History, then on One Graph Per CPU. If you have a HT CPU with HT enabled,
that should split your single CPU History graph window into two windows.
