612054 2007-11-16 07:17:00 My Asus P5B-E motherboard manual says to enable hyperthreading in the advanced section of bios setup. But there is nothing in bios about hyperthreading.
CPU is intel x6800
Can anyone tell me how to get hyperthreading working?

612055 2007-11-16 07:21:00 It depends on WHAT the FSB of the mobo is..

And the speed / FSB of the CPU.

612056 2007-11-16 07:26:00 I don't think Core 2 Duo has HyperThreading JJJJJ. qazwsxokmijn (102)
612057 2007-11-16 07:30:00 Hyperthreading was for the old Pentium CPUs that made it look like it was a dual core CPU when really it wasn't.
The new Core 2 Duo and Quad Cores don't have hyperthreading as they have actual CPU cores.

612058 2007-11-16 07:31:00 Hmm according to the site, it supports HT (www.asus.com.tw) Speedy Gonzales (78)
612059 2007-11-16 07:37:00 at a wild guess, I'd say it supports HT on cpu's that also have HT, out of luck with the core 2 duo though, It has features rather then gimmicks.

612060 2007-11-16 07:39:00 Yeah they are right why would you want virtual dual core cpus if you have real dual core cpus. Plus Hyper Threading crashes sometimes. Hardly any program supports it. SSE3 is even better. JUST INSANE (6682)
612061 2007-11-16 07:41:00 Pentium D Extreme Edition CPUs have two cores AND HTT as far as I can remember. qazwsxokmijn (102)
612062 2007-11-16 07:42:00 Ive never seen HT crash. Altho, it'll be hard to crash since its on the CPU.

Unless u killed the CPU.

Obviously u havent had any programs that support HT Just Insane

Or a CPU that supports HT.

612063 2007-11-16 07:54:00 Still the good old AMD K8 series were cooler and outperformed the Pentium D series in some benchmarks in the good old days. JUST INSANE (6682)
