| 169956 | 2003-08-23 12:24:00 | Just wondering... my flatmate reckons that Windows 2000 doesn't support Hyperthreading... A quick search on Google shows some mention, but was wondering which OS is best suited for HT?? Lo. |

| 169962 | 2003-08-24 15:04:00 | And is the program you are using optimized for hyperthreading????? | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 169963 | 2003-08-24 23:15:00 | Windows XP (Or server 2K3 or Linux...) is really the only OS you can use because it doesnt read the number of CPU's from the BIOS. Win2K asks the BIOS how many CPU's there are and goes by that. I've heard fire-light tales as such of people who've gotten Win2K to support hyperthreading by trying to do a little bit of hacking of Windows, but nothing concrete to offer sorry. If you actually NEED it, then upgrade OS to XP or try the Open-Source alternatives! |

| 169964 | 2003-08-24 23:18:00 | It's all good.... I've done a full fresh install and it's running very nicely now! ;) Pity that hardly any of my programs are HT optimised... :( Lo. |
