XP Pro - Dual Processors with Hyperthreading enabled

[Stuart Mackie [MCP, MSP]]

Hi. I understand that XP Pro will support dual processors, but will it make
use of Dual Processors with Hyperthreading enabled ?

If XP Pro was installed onto a Dual Processor system with Hyperthreading
enabled, is it possible to enable Hyperthreading without having to reinstall
?

Yes. WinXP Pro will see that as 4 processors.

If XP Pro was installed onto a Dual Processor system with Hyperthreading
enabled, is it possible to enable Hyperthreading without having to reinstall?

I think you meant to say "If XP Pro was installed onto a Dual Processor
system with Hyperthreading *dis*abled, is it possible to enable
Hyperthreading without having to reinstall? "

You don't need to reinstall, WinXP pro will handle that automatically.

Hehe, oops mistyped that I thought that would be the case becuase both
configurations would come under multiprocessor. Thanks for the quick reply.
