Win2K and Intel P4 help

[simmorya]

i have just bought a new PC system with an intel p4 3.0GHz with Hyper-Threading processor. I want to format and install my Windows 2000 Professional w/SP4 cd but I have heard Windows 2000 Pro isnt good for hyper-threading and it should be disabled in the system bios. I am unable to turn it off in my BIOS and i have downloaded the BIOS update and its done nothing..

If anyone knows how i can turn off Hyper-Threading, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

For a system to utilize Hyper-Threading(HT) Technology, it must have these elements:

--Intel Pentium 4 HT processor running at 3.06 GHz or greater

--chipset that supports HT Technology

--system BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

--operating system that includes optimizations for HT Technology.

If the processor that you have does not support this feature, it is better to have the feature turned off.

Ala Intel, so if you can't turn it off in the bios, are you sure that your computer has this feature?
